Notes
'Emerald Snow' Chinese fringe flower (Loropetalum chinense 'Emerald Snow') is a shrub for borders, foundation plantings, specimens, and hedges. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. The evergreen leaves stay on the arching branches all year, and the flowers are fragrant. It sits low on the menu for deer. Once settled, the plant tolerates drought.
Pairs well with Nigrescens mondo grass, Gold Mound Japanese meadowsweet, and Alina rose.
