Overview: A Chinese fringe flower grown for its deep chocolate-red foliage and red blooms.

Mature size: Varies enormously by cultivar, from dwarf groundcover forms under 2 ft. to the species' full 10–20 ft..

Sun exposure: Full sun to partial shade; more sun brings out the best foliage and flower color

Flowering season: Late winter into spring, with light rebloom possible through the growing season

Hardiness: USDA Zones 7–9

Water needs: Average; consistent moisture in well-drained soil

Special features: Broadleaf evergreen shrub with narrow, ribbon-like flower petals in clusters along the branches; blooms on old wood, so prune right after flowering if shaping is needed; can also be trained into a small tree by removing lower limbs; sensitive to alkaline soil, which can cause chlorosis

Wildlife value: Bees and other early-season pollinators

Botanical name: Loropetalum chin. 'Red Chocolate'
