Instructions
How to Plant
To plant Loropetalum, choose a sunny or partially shaded spot with well-draining, acidic soil. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and slightly shallower than its depth. Place the plant in the hole so the crown sits just above soil level. Backfill with soil, firm gently, and water thoroughly to settle the roots. Spread a layer of mulch around the base, keeping it away from the stem, to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. If planting in colder regions, consider a sheltered location to protect from harsh winter winds.
