Notes
'Sizzling Pink' Chinese fringe flower (Loropetalum chinense 'Sizzling Pink') is a shrub for borders, hedges, specimen planting, and privacy screens. 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 arching, evergreen branches have a fragrant scent and handle dry spells well. Deer rarely make it their first choice. Give it room to reach its full size.
Pairs well with Nigrescens mondo grass, Gold Mound Japanese meadowsweet, Alina rose, and Asiatic jasmine.
