Special Attributes
Plum Delight Loropetalum, also known as Chinese Witchazel, is a fast growing evergreen flowering shrub that becomes smothered in bright fuchsia-pink fringe flowers in spring and sporadically through the year. The flowers contrast beautifully with the evergreen, deep burgundy foliage. Unlike some purple-leaved varieties, Plum Delight retains its leaf coloration on old and new growth. The new growth is almost as vivid as the flower color.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing naturally to about 5 to 6 feet tall and 6-8 feet wide, or kept smaller with occasional pruning, Plum Delight Loropetalum is an ideal choice as an accent, in groupings or mass plantings, or in straight or staggered rows in home foundation plantings and landscape borders. It’s low water needs makes it suitable for use in Xeriscape plantings. The year round deep purple foliage contrasts nicely with plants that have yellow, light green, grey or other light colored foliage or flowers. A fine addition to purple-theme color gardens and large containers with a rim diameter of 16 inches or more.
Spacing: 5′ for solid hedge; 10′ or more for space between plants

Cultural Preferences
Plum Delight Loropetalum is very easy to grow in most any average, most but well-drained soil and full sun to part shade. As with so many other ornamental plants, constantly soggy or wet soil can be problematic. So make sure to plant Purple Diamond® in a well-drained site. When established, plants are exceptionally drought tolerant, requiring little if any supplemental irrigation. Foliage is more dense in full sun. Requires no pruning, however responds very well to almost any amount, making it an excellent choice for hedges.
