Meet the striking Purple Diamond Loropetalum from the Southern Living Plant Collection, your garden's next standout. With its year-round vibrant purple leaves and compact size (4-6 ft. high and 4-5 ft. wide), this dwarf variety is as versatile as it is beautiful. It dazzles in spring with magenta pink blooms that reappear throughout the growing season. Ideal for accents, containers, hedges, and more, it thrives in USDA Zones 7-10, preferring full sun to part shade. Care is straightforward: water it 2-3 times weekly in its first year, plant in well-drained soil, and fertilize in spring with acidic plant food to encourage growth and blooms.

They're shipped in a custom-designed box to minimize damage, ready for unpacking and watering upon arrival.
