The Ruby Loropetalum plant produces pink fringe/ribbon flowers clusters that open up throughout the year. In Spring, the blossoms are the most plentiful. The purple/burgundy leaves will add aesthetic character to most any corner of your yard. A Loropetalum plant needs a hole twice as wide as the pot. If it is planted directly in the ground, prepare the hole as recommended. To ensure optimal growth, mix rich garden soil with your native soil, then leave the top of the root ball 0.5" above the ground level. Use a slow-release, granular fertilizer in the Spring. To create a dramatic effect, position a few of them in a group to make a border, hedge, or a backdrop for other pieces. This live plant reaches 4' tall to 5' wide. Keep it watered twice a week for best results.
