An unsung hero of the garden, the 'EverRed' variety of Loropetalum, or Chinese Witch Hazel, enhances its beauty even more. Perfect for autumn and early spring colour in the garden, 'EverRed' has very deep magenta red ribbon-like flowers that erupt like sparklers! The stunning flowers contrast against the deepest purple, evergreen foliage that lasts all year round. Great in containers, it is slow growing and spreading so is very easy to manage and maintain. A great all-rounder, 'EverRed' is a shade lover that will thrive in gaps in beds and borders but it will also tolerate full sun if you want to plant up in a pot and place on the patio for a real feature!Does best in cool, well-drained spots - avoid wet roots in winter.
