GORGEOUS YEAR ROUND
Aussie-bred Loropetalum ‘Plum Gorgeous’ is a winner with its electric magenta tassel flowers in spring and autumn. Grow it as an informal hedge and its deep purple foliage and graceful habit will make it a perennial superstar. Dry-tolerant once established in full sun or part shade, it gets to about 1.5m.
