The Ever Red® Loropetalum is an amazing, colorful evergreen shrub, with bright burgundy foliage that never fades, but remains vibrant all year. In late winter or spring, it is covered in spidery-clusters of rich red blossoms, making a remarkable display against the red leaves. Reaching 5 or 6 feet tall and wide, this shrub is perfect for a striking specimen anywhere in your garden, for foundation planting to woodland gardens. Whatever style of garden you have, this plant will look perfect anywhere, even in planters and boxes, where its vibrancy needs nothing else with it. Hardy in all the warmer zones, this versatile plant is a ‘must have’ for every garden.
The Ever Red® Loropetalum is amazing too, for its adaptability to everything from full sun to full shade. Although it grows best in rich, moist, well-drained soil, it will grow happily in almost any soil that is not too wet, and once established it is very drought resistant. It is just as happy in full sun and in shade, and only in the deepest shade do the leaves begin to lose their rich burgundy color. Such a versatile plant as this should be in every garden warm enough to grow it.
