Notes
'Jazz Hands Velvet' Chinese fringe-flower (Loropetalum chinense 'Jazz Hands Velvet') is a shrub for borders, foundation plantings, specimen use, and accents. 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, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Deer tend to browse other plants first. Fragrant flowers open from early to late spring, and the plant tolerates drought once settled.
