Loropetalum Fede - Shrub - Height 90-110cm - 40lt

Loropetalum ‘Fede’ is an evergreen shrub valued for its arching form, plum-toned foliage, and tassel-like spring flowers. In a garden setting it suits mixed borders, foundation plantings, and informal hedges, because its growth is tidy yet relaxed and typically remains within a manageable medium size. The plant performs best in mildly acidic, well-drained soil and appreciates morning sun with some afternoon shade, which keeps foliage color rich and prevents stress during hot summers.

Once established it is reasonably drought tolerant, though regular watering encourages denser branching and better bloom. Its shallow roots and rounded habit make it compatible with companion plants such as azaleas, camellias, and ferns, adding contrast of color and texture. Loropetalum is generally low maintenance; pruning is rarely needed beyond light shaping after flowering. It is also resistant to deer browsing and has few serious pests. In smaller gardens, it can be grown in large containers, where its cascading leaves soften hard edges. Overall, Loropetalum ‘Fede’ offers dependable evergreen structure and seasonal interest while remaining adaptable to a range of garden styles in many climates worldwide today.
