Loropetalum chinense ... Fire Dance ...

Hi Amy

thats a fab colour how big does it grow and soil requirements as in acic etc

Dotty d has one of these, I wonder if her's is still flowering? Pretty purple foliage.

Pretty, Amy!

Thanks all , Gg the shrub is approx 2ft x 2ft well drained normal potting compost , should be hardy to -5 I keep mine in a large pot and put it in the greenhouse over winter , it starts flowering in the spring so considering its hasn't stopped flowering since last spring and its now January that's a good part of the year in bloom ...

Lovely Amy :-), I've admired this in the GC but a bit undecided whether its hardy enough for here, I'm rubbish with pots so I'll just have to admire yours :-)

.That's a beauty,Amy..I love the colours..and what a long flowering time too..!

Hi Amy .. Lovely colour and structure !

I have never heard of this Amy ! Its beautiful !

Siris is right...we have two different varieties..they are not flowering at the moment, but they are both planted in the garden!!

Thanks all , Angela you are braver than me I would be frightened of losing it in the garden also if we do think of moving I can take it with me ...

That's a sound idea Amy......we already have far too many pots in the garden, dare not add to it!!?

Just lovely.

so beautiful , love the color :-)))xxx

Thanks Chris & Junna :o)
