Fragrant, spider-like, reddish-pink flowers with long petals, resembling witch hazel, blooming in February and March. Loropetalum chinense ‘Black Pearl’ prefers fertile, slightly acidic, moist, well-drained soil. Doesn’t like waterlogged and shallow chalk soils. It thrives in full sun to partial shade.

Perfect for cottage, urban, and woodland gardens. Excellent for beds and borders, shrub and wall-side borders. Great for growing in containers.
