Zhuzhou Loropetalum – A Splash of Color for Your Garden
About the Bloom
Experience the vibrant beauty of the Zhuzhou Loropetalum’s blooms, adding a splash of color to your garden. This plant produces clusters of bright pink, fringed flowers that bloom in the spring and sporadically throughout the year, creating a stunning visual display. The unique blooms of the Zhuzhou Loropetalum are sure to attract attention and admiration from all who see them.
What to Know About the Plant
The Zhuzhou Loropetalum is an evergreen shrub with deep burgundy foliage that provides year-round interest in the garden. This compact shrub typically grows to a height of 4-6 feet, making it an ideal choice for smaller spaces or as a colorful border plant. Its dense, bushy growth habit and graceful arching branches add a touch of elegance to any landscape.
Enhancing your Fruitscape
Pair the Zhuzhou Loropetalum with fruit trees like Citrus, Apple, or Peach to create a stunning contrast between the colorful foliage of the Loropetalum and the fruit-bearing trees. Berry plants such as Blueberries or Raspberries can also complement the Zhuzhou Loropetalum’s vibrant blooms with their own colorful fruits. Mix in tropical plants like Banana or Pineapple for a touch of exotic flair, or herbs like Basil or Thyme for a fragrant and visually appealing combination. By incorporating the Zhuzhou Loropetalum into your fruitscape, you can create a garden that is both beautiful and productive, offering a feast for the eyes and the taste buds.

Ornamental & Landscaping Plants at Just Fruits & Exotics
Although Just Fruits and Exotics has been providing ornamental and landscaping plants to customers at our nursery since we added “Exotics” to our name in the 1990’s, we never had them available to our customers online.
However, September of 2018, with the launch of our updated Just Fruits and Exotics website, we added many of our ornamental and landscaping plants to our online store for our customers nationwide.  We encourage you to “Fruitscape†your yards, mixing edibles and ornamentals to make your own edible garden.

Shipping Information
Before Your Plants Arrive: You can find many guides on unpacking, planting, & care, on our growing guides page.
The Journey From Our Nursery to Your Door: We NEVER ship our plants bare root. Your plant will travel in the very container in which it was nurtured. We thoroughly prune and water them before packing, and make sure they’re well wrapped to retain moisture during transit. It’s as though you’ve personally collected them from our nursery!
Choose Your Ship Date: We understand you’ll want to be available when your plant arrives. Our checkout process features a handy calendar that allows you to choose the Monday on which you want your plant to ship. Depending on your location, you’ll likely receive your plant by Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday of that week. Once shipped, UPS will generate a tracking number and send it to the email you provided. You can then follow your plant’s journey and ensure someone is available to unpack it on arrival day.
