Notes
'Irodori' Chinese fringe flower (Loropetalum chinense 'Irodori') is a shrub for borders, containers, specimen planting, 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. It is evergreen, fragrant, and drought tolerant, with an arching habit. Deer rarely make it their first choice. It grows 47 to 71 inches tall and 47 inches wide, so give it room.
