LOROPETALUM CHINENSE EVER RED (R-ROYALTY)
Loropetalum chinense 'Ever Red' is a cultivar of Loropetalum that stands out for its
compact habit and the vibrant color of its leaves and flowers. This
evergreen shrub, native to China, is particularly appreciated for its dense
growth and its ornamental appearance that enriches gardens and green spaces throughout the year. The
'Ever Red' variety is known for its foliage that, while maintaining a dark
green base, takes on red and purple shades, particularly evident in the colder periods.
The flowers, of an intense pink, bloom in spring, gathered in delicate inflorescences that
give the plant an additional decorative touch. Their fringe shape, reminiscent of
small fringes, makes the flowering particularly interesting, creating a lively contrast
with the leaves. Loropetalum chinense 'Ever Red' is ideal for those looking for a plant that
offers an explosion of color and movement, without sacrificing compactness.
This variety is perfect for well-drained soil and prefers sunny or
partially shaded positions. It is a plant that adapts well to pruning, allowing it to
maintain a neat and compact shape. Furthermore, it resists temperate climates and can
withstand short periods of drought once well established. Its resistance and
beauty make it suitable for both modern and more traditional gardens, as well as
for growing in pots.
