Four Season Interest

Crimson Fire loropetalum is one of those rare plants that provide landscape interest year-round. The shrub leaves are red throughout the year but the red coloration changes slightly. The foliage is ruby red in the spring and deepens until it reaches a dark burgundy in the fall. The foliage will remain the dark burgundy color until spring when the red coloration will lighten and blooms will appear on the shrub. Hot pink, fringed flowers will appear in spring and attract the attention of pollinators in the area.

Crimson Fire Loropetalum Care

Loropetalum is hardy in USDA growing zones 7-9. The flowering shrub can be grown in cooler climates if it’s protected from freezing winter temperatures. Grow the shrub in a container and overwinter it on a covered porch or in a garage to protect it from freezing.

The shrub grows well in full or partial sun. If you live in a hot climate that has intense afternoon sun, plant the Crimson Fire loropetalum in a location that receives morning sun and afternoon shade. Loropetalum grows best in well-draining soil that contains plenty of organic matter. The organic matter will help keep the soil fertile and moist.

• Crimson Fire Loropetalum maintains a compact 2–3 ft. mound with vibrant color, making it perfect for foundation plantings, accents, containers, or layered garden designs. Its fast growth rate, up to 1 foot per year, helps new landscapes fill in quickly with mature-looking color.

• Feed Crimson Fire Loropetalum 2–3 times per year with an organic or balanced 10-10-10 fertilizer to support strong growth and consistent foliage color. Water regularly during the first year, then weekly once established as it becomes semi-drought tolerant.

• Prune Crimson Fire Loropetalum after spring blooming to maintain shape and prevent it from outgrowing its space. Removing up to one-third of the plant promotes a neat, contained form and encourages healthy new growth.
