Loropetalum chinense 'Firedance'
Delightful shrub with graceful long arching branches clothed with red-purple leaves. These emerge pinkish-red in spring. In a warm site bright pink fringe-like flowers appear in spring. Hardy to cold once established, prefers good soil that does not get too dry. Best in semi-shade. Good for the shrub border or trimmed as an informal hedge.
