Notes
'Ever Red' Chinese fringe flower (Loropetalum chinense 'Ever Red') is a shrub for borders, hedges, specimen planting, and foundation beds. 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. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. This evergreen shrub has a fragrant, arching habit and grows at a moderate pace. It can reach about 5 feet tall and wide.
Pairs well with Nigrescens mondo grass, Gold Mound Japanese meadowsweet, and Alina rose.
