More Information
These flowering shrubs can be planted just about any time within the recommended growing zones 7 to 9. Zone 7a should avoid winter and zones 8 and 9 are advised to avoid summer. Any planting done in summer should be compensated with plenty of extra water. Spring and fall are the best times to plant. Read more on How To Plant Shrubs.
Plant in full to part sun for best growth and flowering. Dig a hole about twice the width of the pot and about the same height. Place your shrub in the hole and backfill with the existing soil. Water deeply until the water begins to pool. Water daily for the first week and twice weekly for the first 2 or 3 months until your plant is established.
These flowering evergreen plants are easy to grow. Once established they are drought tolerant, but an occasional watering during the summer will help this bush grow and flower better. A layer of mulch can help the soil better retain moisture. Feed with a balanced slow-release fertilizer in spring.
Pruning isn’t usually necessary with these colorful shrubs. If manicuring a hedge or pruning loropetalums for size control, prune them after they are finished flowering in spring. Prune to remove broken or dead branches anytime.
For a manicured hedge or to control size, simply shear your bushes to a clean shape. Avoid over pruning, and try to stick with the natural shape of this shrub for best results. Do not remove more than ⅓ of this plant at a time. Check out more information on How To Prune Shrubs.
