Loropetalum chinense ‘Black Pearl’ – 2L Pot

Add year-round interest and vibrant colour to your garden with Loropetalum chinense ‘Black Pearl’, a compact evergreen shrub prized for its rich, burgundy-purple foliage and vibrant, spidery pink flowers. This eye-catching variety flowers in early spring, with sporadic blooms appearing again in late summer to autumn, offering extended seasonal appeal.

Best grown in a sheltered, sunny or partially shaded spot, ‘Black Pearl’ thrives in acidic to neutral, well-drained soil. It’s perfect for mixed borders, patio containers, or as a feature in a contemporary garden design. Its compact habit (up to 1m tall and wide) makes it ideal for smaller spaces.

Pruning is rarely needed, but if shaping is required, lightly trim after flowering in late spring or early summer. Avoid hard pruning in autumn or winter, as it may affect next season’s flowers.

Feed in spring and again in midsummer with an ericaceous fertiliser to maintain strong growth and vibrant foliage colour. Apply a mulch in spring to help retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Supplied in a quality 2-litre pot, Loropetalum ‘Black Pearl’ is a stunning, low-maintenance addition that provides colour and structure to the garden all year round.
