Does besting cool, well-drained spots -avoid wet roots in winter.Top Tips- Avoid full sun and wet feet in winter.Care Guide- Although hardy to -10°C, young leaves can be damaged by frost, although they will grow back. Provide protection if frost threatens to prevent damage.- Grow in a sheltered area in sun or light dappled shade. South to south-west facing is ideal.- Loropetalum prefers a slightly acidic, humus-rich soil that retains moisture so add ericaceous compost to the planting hole or grow in a container.- Keep well-watered.- Like clematis, Chinese witch hazel likes to have cool roots, so grow it were the roots are likely to be shaded, such as among perennials or cover the area with a thick mulch of gravel.- In the colder parts of the country (i.e. where temperatures are likely to drop below -10C), Loropetalum should be treated as tender and kept in a large terracotta container that can be brought in for the winter.Planting Time:February - NovemberFlowering Time:October - MarchAbout You GardenEstablished for over 50 years, our award winning trusted plant supplier are based in South Lincolnshire.

Its colouring makes this dwarf conifer stand out in rockeries and other sunny or partially shady parts of the garden. Alternatively, the Chinese Juniper can be grown as a specimen plant or tree. Like most Sabinas, it is slow-growing, but requires little maintenance once mature. The plant is therefore a useful and long-lasting hardy shrub. Height: 1.2m (3'11). Spread: 1m (3'3).
