Loropetalum Red Temple pruning

Loropetalum Red Temple 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. Simply 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.
