Loropetalum 'Blonde and Gorgeous' pruning

Loropetalum 'Blonde and Gorgeous' benefits from light pruning to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Pruning is best done in late spring or early summer after the main flush of flowers has finished. Avoid heavy pruning in autumn or winter, as this can reduce flowering the following season. Trim back any leggy or unruly branches, and remove any dead or damaged wood. If the plant has become too large or misshapen, it can handle a more substantial trim, though this may temporarily reduce blooming. Regular light pruning helps keep the plant tidy and promotes vibrant new foliage, enhancing its rich colours.

Loropetalum 'Blonde and Gorgeous' care

Loropetalum 'Blonde and Gorgeous' is a beautiful shrub that requires specific care to thrive. It flourishes in full sun to partial shade. It prefers moist but well-drained soil that is fertile and rich in organic matter, or humus. Good drainage is crucial to prevent root rot, and this cannot be emphasised enough. While it can handle moderate frost, young plants should be protected in colder regions. Similarly, shelter from the wind is also recommended. Feed it with tree fertiliser in early spring before new growth begins. If shaping is needed, it's best to prune after flowering. Generally, this variety is relatively pest and disease-free. However, keep an eye out for scale insects and treat with an insecticide if levels are high.
