LOROPETALUM CHINENSE FEDE

Plant code: LOR-FED

Loropetalum chinense ‘Fede’ is a cultivar of Loropetalum that stands out for its elegance and the liveliness of its foliage. This evergreen shrub, native to Asia, has a compact shape and an erect habit, ideal for creating borders, hedges or for use in pots. The ‘Fede’ variety is particularly appreciated for its bright dark green leaves, which acquire red-purple shades in the colder periods, giving the plant a rich and ornamental appearance throughout the year. The flowering, which occurs in spring, is characterised by small pink fringe-shaped flowers, which develop in abundance, creating a lively contrast with the foliage. These delicately scented flowers attract pollinators and add a further decorative element to the plant, which stands out for its ability to color outdoor spaces with warm and vibrant tones. Loropetalum chinense ‘Fede’ is a resistant plant, which adapts well to both sunny and partially shaded exposures, preferring well-drained soil. It is particularly tolerant to drought once well rooted, but for optimal growth a rich and well-watered soil is recommended. The plant is easily shaped through pruning, which allows it to be kept compact and adapted to different aesthetic or spatial needs.
