Nursery contributed plant descriptions
A new and striking loropetalum, the leaves variously variegated or mottled with red, green and white -- pick your favorite -- and the flowers pink and occasionally bi-color pink and white, appearing in late winter to spring. More compact than others, to only 4' tall or so and as wide. Best in part shade inland or full sun in cool coastal climates with summer water. A little overhead protection helps keep flowers safe of late frosts. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8 and into upper zone 7.
