Loropetalum Red Temple

Loropetalum Red Temple Details

Loropetalum Red Temple is a shrub grown for its spectacularly coloured flowers and foliage. It produces mildly fragrant, pink-red flowers through winter, which are both unusual and appealing. The foliage on this bushy evergreen is oval, rich purple, and provides a stunning backdrop to the flowers. It typically grows to 1 m tall and the same wide, growing best on a well-drained, sheltered site in full sun. It is hardy to moderate frost and will tolerate dry periods and coastal environments. Loropetalum Red Temple is commonly included in a mixed planting, added to a cottage garden, planted around outdoor living areas, trimmed into a hedge, maintained in a container, or grown for winter colour and fragrance. A mass planting looks sensational with this plant.
