Description
Loropetalum chinense ‘Plum Gorgeous’ is a striking evergreen shrub prized for its deep plum-purple foliage and vibrant hot-pink, tassel-like flowers. Flowering mainly in spring and autumn, it adds bold colour contrast to gardens year-round. It grows to approximately 1.5 metres high and 1.5 metres wide, forming a naturally compact, rounded shape without much pruning.
Ideal for Australian gardens, it thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers well-drained soil. ‘Plum Gorgeous’ is drought-tolerant once established, and its low-maintenance nature makes it perfect for hedging, borders, feature planting, or containers.
A standout choice for colour and form, this cultivar is both heat- and humidity-tolerant, and responds well to light trimming if shaping is desired.
