Loropetalum Black Pearl 15cm pot

Chinese Witch Hazel... Spectacular Firework-Like Flowers, Striking All-Year-Round Foliage, and Easy To Grow!

A plant for all seasons and all gardens, the Chinese Witch Hazel really is one of the most spectacular plants you can own. Quite a rarity in UK gardens, it is unlikely that your neighbours will have one, so you can be one of the first to grow it! Incredibly exotic looking, this highly prized beauty is actually easy to grow and can survive mild winter conditions.

Glorious, rich burgundy, oval-shaped leaves contrast superbly against any green foliage and act as a dramatic backdrop to spectacular, vibrant pink flowers. Often likened to sea coral, the highly unusual ribbon-shaped petals explode from the centre just like a firework and completely smother the plant from February to April, just when you need interest in your garden.

As spectacular in a pot on your patio as in any border, Chinese Witch Hazel requires nothing more than an occasional trim to keep it in perfect shape. Best grown in a sheltered area where it can be covered if hard frost is forecast, such as temperatures below -5C.

Supplied as an established plant in a 15cm pot, ready to plant out.
