Back to buying optionsDaruma Dwarf Loropetalum – Loropetalum chinense ‘Daruma Compact’ – Live Flowering Shrub in 1 Quart Nursery Pot
Add beautiful color and texture to your landscape with Daruma Dwarf Loropetalum, also known as Chinese Fringe Flower. This compact evergreen shrub features attractive burgundy foliage that can mature into deep green tones during certain seasons. In early to mid-spring, it produces eye-catching hot pink to fuchsia fringe-like flowers, with occasional repeat blooms later in the growing season. Its naturally dense, compact growth habit makes it an excellent choice for low hedges, foundation plantings, garden borders, and decorative containers.
The plant is currently growing in a 1-quart nursery pot but will ship in a fabric grow bag rather than its original plastic pot. Some destinations may receive the plant bare root inside the grow bag. Flowering at the time of purchase is not guaranteed, and actual plant size may vary depending on the season and availability.
