The Purple Pixie Loropetalum from the Southern Living Plant Collection is a Loropetalum like no other! Short-rounded leaves are bright purple to dark purple and remain evergreen all year long. This dwarf Loropetalum is naturally weeping, and only reaches 1 to 2 ft. high x 4 to 5 ft. wide. Magenta pink ribbon blooms appear in spring and rebloom randomly during the growing season. Use this variety as an accent, groundcover, sweeping over the side of a container, mass planting, or slope planting. This Loropetalum is hardy in USDA Zones 7 to 10 and prefers full sun to part shade. Water 2-3 times per week for the first growing season. Plant in rich garden soil with good drainage for best results. Fertilize in spring with acidic plant fertilizer. . ---------- This item includes one 2.5 Quart Purple Pixie Loropetalum (live plant) in a plastic pot with soil. The pots will be wrapped in a poly bag to retain moisture and hold any soil that shakes lose in shipping. The plant will be shipped in a cardboard box that has been designed to hold the plant in place to reduce any chance of damage in transit. As soon as the plant arrives it should be unpackaged, un-bagged, and watered. --------These plants ship from the Gulf Coast of Alabama. We recommend that customers outside of the southeastern United States order during the milder times of year (Spring/Fall) to prevent heat/cold stress during transit.
