Burgundy Loropetalum, known scientifically as Loropetalum chinense, is a stunning evergreen shrub from the Hamamelidaceae family. Thriving in USDA Zones 7-10, it prefers moist, well-drained soil and can flourish in full sun to partial shade. Its attractive serrated leaves come in vibrant green or burgundy hues. The plant produces delightful lavender, pink, or white flowers in spring, followed by nut-like capsules. Rapid growth makes it an ideal choice for foundation planting or borders, with dwarf cultivars available for smaller spaces.
