Loropetalum Black Pearl - Chinese Witch Hazel

One of the darkest-leaved shrubs you can grow, Loropetalum ‘Black Pearl’ (Chinese Witch Hazel) delivers dramatic year-round foliage in rich, near-black burgundy tones. In spring, and often again later in the season, it erupts into masses of vivid cerise-pink, ribbon-like flowers that glow brilliantly against the deep foliage. The striking colour contrast makes this compact evergreen shrub an instant focal point in borders, patio containers, and contemporary planting schemes.

Thriving in full sun and well-drained, slightly acidic soil, ‘Black Pearl’ is hardy and adaptable once established. Maintenance requirements are low, needing only light pruning after flowering to maintain its shape and encourage fresh growth. Ideal for adding bold colour structure throughout the year, it performs beautifully as a statement specimen or a low hedge. Distinctive and effortlessly stylish, this is a superb choice for gardeners seeking strong foliage impact with eye-catching seasonal blooms.

Supplied in approx. 1.5-2.5 litre containers.
