Loropetalum ‘Fire Dance’ (Chinese Witch Hazel)

A Striking Combination of Foliage and Flowers Deep reddish-purple evergreen leaves Bright pink, ribbon-like spring flowers Lightly fragrant blooms Compact, bushy growth Ideal for borders and patio containers The unusual foliage is what sets ‘Fire Dance’ apart, with deep reddish-purple leaves providing colour throughout the year. The foliage can become greener during summer, adding another change of tone as the seasons progress. Then, in early spring, clusters of bright pink, lightly fragrant flowers cover the branches. Their long, narrow petals give them the distinctive ribbon-like appearance associated with Chinese Witch Hazel and stand out particularly well against the darker leaves. Reaching around 1m high and wide, its compact, rounded habit makes it particularly useful where space is limited. Grow it in a sheltered border, courtyard garden or large patio pot where you can enjoy both the foliage and spring flowers at close range.
