Notes
'Purple Daydream' Chinese fringe flower (Loropetalum chinense 'Purple Daydream') is a shrub for borders, containers, hedges, and foundation plantings. 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 form that reaches 24 to 36 inches tall. It sits low on the menu for deer. Give it room, since it spreads 35 to 47 inches wide.
