1 Live Plant Plum Delight Loropetalum Chinese Fringe Shrub Pink Fringed Flowers Purple Foliage

Plum Delight Loropetalum is an evergreen shrub valued for its vivid pink fringe-like flowers and rich burgundy-purple foliage that holds color through the season. This versatile ornamental brings year-round structure and bold contrast to beds, borders, and mixed plantings, and its naturally compact form makes it equally suited to containers and low hedges.

Grown for its showy fringed blooms in spring and its persistent purple-tinged leaves, Plum Delight works well as a specimen accent, an informal hedge, or a foundation shrub in mixed landscapes. Foliage color is strongest in full sun, and the plant responds well to light shaping after flowering to keep a tidy habit.
