Plants

loropetalum are often used as field plants, with popular cultivars having flowers in various colors such as purple, purple or white with red stripes. These arched plants should have enough space for growth, as they can reach up to 45 feet (about 13 m) high with a span of up to 12 feet (3.7 m). They do not need pruning to induce flowers or better growth, but may be cut for decorative purposes.

promotion can be performed through seeds that are taken from their wooden capsules or cuttings taken during the central summer. Plants can also bepromoted by layering of the lower limbs by attaching them to the ground. Rooted limbs can then be removed for the landing during the next season. Seedlings may occur as insufficiently established shrubs and can be hit or planted. These plants prefer a damp, well drained, slightly acidic soil with an organic layer to keep in moisture. Benefit in a partial shadow or full sun.
