Loropetalum chinense

Is this planted in the garden or in a pot, and I notice your leaves are green, but, ours are all dark plum!!

It's not 'Firedance', Dd. It does get pink leaves, as well as the flowers. I find that it survives the winter, wrapped in fleece because it's against the house wall. I had 'Firedance' but even with three layers of fleece it didn't make it. :-(

Oh I see, really don't know where to put ours, should hate to lose it, looks beautiful now, we have not got any suitable walls we could use,

I hope you don't get really cold weather down there then. It is indeed a beautiful plant, but not nearly as hardy as the adverts (or the labels) say. All you can do is protect it and keep your fingers crossed.
