Loropetalum
chinense Blush ~ Witch Hazel |
| Loropetalum chinense Blush
is distinct from the other cultivars in that the newest leaf or two
comes out bronze-red and it has pink flowers that are paler than the cv
Burgundy or cv Purple Majesty. As it ages the leaves turns green. This shrub will slowly grow to 8 feet or more
tall and wide. Witch Hazel will grow in sun or shade and a variety
of soils. Loropetalum chinense prefers to be on the dry side, which
makes this an ideal plant for the shade garden under oaks. It seems
like Loropetalum chinense Blush always has some pink blossoms, though there are
fewer in the winter. The Witch Hazel is tolerant of temperatures
into the low teens. Loropetalum chinense drops most or all of its
leaves if the temperatures drop that low. This plant is the same as
Loropetalum Monraz.
