Southern Living Plant Collection Purple Pixie Dwarf Weeping Loropetalum Foundation/Hedge Shrub in 1.5 -Gallon Pot 1 -Pack ,Pink Blooms

The Purple Pixie Loropetalum, a standout from the Southern Living Plant Collection, is uniquely compact and weeping, reaching an average size of 1 to 2 feet in height and 4 to 5 feet in width. Its distinctive, year-round evergreen foliage transitions from bright to dark purple, making it a vibrant addition to any garden setting. This dwarf variety is celebrated for its magenta pink ribbon blooms that grace the plant in spring and reappear sporadically throughout the growing season. Hardy in USDA Zones 7 to 10, the Purple Pixie Loropetalum is versatile in its placement, thriving in both full sun and partial shade. It's particularly suited for use as an accent, ground cover, in mass plantings, or adding a dramatic cascade over the edges of containers and slopes, thanks to its naturally weeping form. For optimal care, it requires watering 2-3 times per week during its first growing season, planting in rich garden soil with good drainage, and an application of acidic plant fertilizer in spring. While the Purple Pixie Loropetalum is primarily sought after for its striking foliage and blooms, it also attracts pollinators such as bees and butterflies, especially when its flowers are in bloom, adding not only beauty but also contributing to the biodiversity of your garden.
