Loropetalum chinense 'Fire Dance', Witch bush, 3 litre pot

The Loropetalum chinense 'Fire Dance', also known as witch bush, is an enchanting evergreen ornamental shrub with deep purple-green leaves and rose-red flowers appearing in early spring. The young shoots sprout a striking pink, which together with the flowering makes for a spectacular display of colour in March and April.

With a compact growth up to about 100-150 cm high, 'Fire Dance' is ideal for the smaller garden, as a solitary, in borders or in pots on terrace or balcony. This plant does best in a sheltered position in the sun or partial shade, out of the cold wind. Preferably put it in a well-drained, slightly acidic soil.

Although 'Fire Dance' evergreen is, he is only moderately hardy. In severe frost, protection is desirable, for example with fleece or by putting the pot inside to keep it frost-free. In return, it provides long-lasting ornamental value and a colourful start to the garden season.

A perfect choice for those who want to add colour, texture and an exotic touch to the garden!
