Loropetalum chinense ‘Purple Prince’

Loropetalum ‘Purple Prince’ is a striking evergreen shrub prized for its deep purple to burgundy foliage and vibrant, fringe-like pink flowers. The rich, glossy leaves provide dramatic colour year-round, making it a standout feature in any garden or landscape.

In late winter to spring, and often again sporadically through the year in warm climates, the plant is covered with bright pink, ribbon-shaped blooms that contrast beautifully against the dark foliage. These flowers attract bees and other pollinators.

‘Purple Prince’ has a compact, naturally rounded growth habit, typically reaching 1–1.5 m in height and width, and responds well to pruning and shaping, making it suitable for hedging, screening, borders, feature planting, and containers.

It performs best in full sun to partial shade, with stronger foliage colour in sunnier positions, and prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soil. This variety is hardy, heat-tolerant, and low-maintenance once established.

Ideal for modern gardens, colour contrasts, foundation planting, and formal or informal hedges, Loropetalum ‘Purple Prince’ delivers bold foliage colour, long seasonal interest, and excellent versatility.
