loropetalum cerise charm

Also known as: Chinese Fringe Flower, Cerise Charm Fringe Flower

Loropetalum Cerise Charm is a colorful evergreen shrub known for its rich burgundy purple foliage and bright pink fringed flowers. Native to parts of Asia, this striking Loropetalum keeps its deep foliage color throughout the year, even through the heat of summer. In spring, clusters of vivid pink blooms stand out against the dark leaves, followed by fresh reddish maroon growth that gradually deepens into plum tones. Loropetalum Cerise Charm grows best in full sun to partial shade and well drained soil, making it a beautiful choice for garden borders, foundation plantings, landscape beds, mass plantings, and outdoor containers.
