Notes
'Suzanne' fringe flower (Loropetalum chinense 'Suzanne') is a shrub for borders, specimen planting, hedges, 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, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Deer tend to browse other plants first. It has an arching habit and grows at a moderate rate. Fragrant flowers open in early to late spring, and the plant tolerates drought.
Pairs well with Bigleaf hydrangea, Azalea, and June hosta.
