Red Diamond Midsize Loropetalum (Loropetalum chinense ‘Shang-Red’) is a standout evergreen shrub prized for its dramatic dark burgundy foliage that provides four seasons of color. In late winter to early spring, clusters of brilliant red blooms cover the plant, creating a striking contrast against the rich leaves.
Compact yet bold, this shrub works beautifully as a vibrant accent, in mass plantings, or as a colorful, informal hedge.
Red Diamond Midsize Loropetalum Care
Plant in well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Water regularly to establish and then as needed when the soil becomes dry. Fertilize annually in late spring to encourage lush growth and vibrant blooms. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain the desired shape.
Red Diamond Midsize Loropetalum Spacing
For shrub borders, space plants 8 feet apart, center-to-center. To create an informal hedge, plant 5 to 6 feet apart, measured from the center of each plant.
