Carolina Midnight Loropetalum (Tree Form)
Carolina Midnight Loropetalum is a bold, evergreen shrub known for its deep purple foliage and striking fuchsia fringe-like flowers that bloom in early spring and often sporadically throughout the year. With a naturally dense and upright growth habit, it makes a dramatic statement in hedges, foundation plantings, or mixed borders. Its rich foliage color intensifies in full sun, providing year-round contrast and visual interest. Drought-tolerant, deer-resistant, and low-maintenance once established, this Southern favorite thrives in a variety of landscape settings.
