Meet the Purple Daydream Loropetalum from the Southern Living Plant Collection, your garden's next low-maintenance yet high-impact friend. This compact variety keeps things tidy with its evergreen, purple to dark purple leaves, avoiding the sprawl of its larger cousins. Ideal for adding a pop of color as an accent, in containers, as a hedge, or even in mass plantings, it grows just right at 2-3 ft tall and 3-4 ft wide. Come spring, it surprises with dark-pink blooms that reappear throughout the growing season. Thriving in USDA Zones 7-10 and preferring a mix of sun and shade, it asks for a simple drink 2-3 times a week during its first year. Planted in rich, well-draining soil and given a spring feeding of acidic fertilizer, it'll reward you with vibrant growth and flowers.
