Loropetalum Black Pearl - Chinese Witch Hazel

This eye-catching variety of Chinese Witch Hazel benefits from bright red spidery flowers appearing from late winter to early spring, shown off against extremely dark burgundy-black foliage. This provides a stunning compact evergreen shrub, perfect in beds and borders or sheltered patio containers. It will often also have a further flush of flowers in late summer and early autumn.

 

For something different and dazzling Black Pearl is the perfect choice, be it in a mixed shrub border or as a specimen in a large planter. It will do best in a partially shaded position on well drained yet retentive soil with plenty of compost incorporated at planting time. Over time, Black Pearl will form a neat compact bush around 100-120cm high and up to 120cm wide. Evergreen and winter hardy, it is the perfect choice to combine with other contrasting plants such as Convolvulus cnerorum in the garden or in a container on the terrace or balcony.

 

Supplied in approx 1.5 litre containers, in season plants supplied will be covered in buds and flowers as pictured.
