Chinese Fringe Flower 'Ever Red', Ever Red Chinese Fringe Flower, Loropetalum chinense 'Chang Nian Hong'
Noted for its attractive foliage and brightly colored flowers, Loropetalum chinense ‘Ever Red’ (Chinese Fringe Flower) is a bushy evergreen shrub of neat, compact habit with dark burgundy leaves that retain their rich color throughout summer. In late winter to early spring, it produces abundant clusters of deep, vivid red, spidery flowers, each with narrow, twisted, inch-long petals. The bright blossoms stand out against the dark evergreen foliage which provides contrast and interest to the landscape all year long. Deer-resistant and drought tolerant, this striking evergreen shrub is perfect as an accent or in mass plantings. It makes a lovely hedge along the entryway and looks great in perennial borders or in containers.
