Loropetalum Emerald Snow (Loropetalum chinense ‘Shang-white’) is a broadleaf evergreen shrub known for its clusters of white flowers in spring, with lighter bloom periods during summer. New foliage emerges lime green and matures to a deep green, creating year-round interest and texture. Its compact, upright growth habit makes it an excellent accent shrub for borders or foundation plantings.
This versatile shrub adds color, structure, and elegance to landscapes, performing well in mixed shrub borders, garden beds, or as a standalone accent.
