Loropetalum chinense 'Kurobijin'
Cerise Charm® Loropetalum offers deep purple foliage and bright cerise-pink fringe flowers, creating an attractive accent for a carefully planned home landscape. Its characteristic flowers or foliage add personality to mixed plantings, while the natural growth habit helps determine the best location in the garden.
Expect approximately 3–4 feet tall in favorable conditions. Actual mature dimensions depend on local climate, soil conditions, and ongoing care. Allow the plant enough room to grow without crowding paths, foundations, or neighboring shrubs. The right placement makes the most of its distinctive seasonal features.

Where to Plant Cerise Charm® Loropetalum
Provide sun to partial shade in well-drained, slightly acidic soil. Position this selection where its most ornamental feature can be seen and appreciated, whether as a specimen, a border accent, or part of a coordinated shrub grouping. Avoid persistently wet soil and give new plants enough space for airflow and healthy root development.
Growing and Care Tips
Water thoroughly after planting, then monitor moisture at the root zone throughout the first growing season. Deep, occasional watering generally encourages stronger establishment than frequent shallow sprinkling. Apply a modest layer of mulch to conserve moisture, keeping it clear of the crown and main stems.
The most noticeable seasonal display occurs in spring, with occasional later flowering. Adjust watering during extended heat or dry spells, and prune selectively to remove damaged branches or maintain a natural shape. Where flowering depends on buds formed the previous year, avoid indiscriminate late-season pruning. Healthy roots and appropriate exposure matter more than a rigid maintenance schedule.
