We at Cistus seem to be bent on growing every Loropetalum there ever was -- and then some. 'Zhuzhou Pink' has been a favorite. The weeping habit of its branches, the darkest burgundy leaves and the large, 1", spidery pink to cerise flowers together make it a dazzling garden or container species. It has also been rated as among the most frost hardy, surviving winters to as low as several degrees below 0 °F with little damage, though should be planted in the warmest places anywhere frost might nip at late season new growth. Lovers of summer water and bright light for best color though quite at home in dappled shade. Frost hardy just below USDA zone 7.
