Loropetalum chinense Daybreak's Flame

The magnificent Chinese Fringe Flower variation Loropetalum chinense 'Daybreak's Flame' is well-known for its eye-catching leaves and vivid flower displays. This evergreen shrub's deep burgundy foliage provides a striking background for the vivid pink, ribbon-like blooms that bloom intermittently throughout the year and in early spring. 'Daybreak's Flame,' with a height and spread of up to 1.5 metres, is perfect for foundation plantings, mixed borders, or as a striking showpiece in a container.

This plant likes acidic, well-drained soil and may grow in either full sun or moderate shade. Although it requires little upkeep, it does benefit from periodic trimming to keep its compact, rounded shape and to promote bright new growth.
