| Botanical Name | Loropetalum chinense 'Little David' |
| Description | A true dwarf variety perfect for tight spaces in the Willis and Houston metro area. It maintains a naturally tight, mounded habit with deep purple-burgundy foliage that holds its color well. While it loves the heat, it requires slightly acidic, well-draining soil. To succeed in our local heavy clay, plant in raised beds with organic matter to ensure proper drainage and prevent root rot. |
| Exposure | Full sun to partial shade (Full sun provides the richest purple foliage color) |
| Height x Width | 1.5-3 ft. Tall x 1.5-3 ft. Wide |
| Water | Moderate; once established, it is relatively drought-tolerant. During the peak of Houston summers, ensure regular deep watering to keep the roots hydrated. |
| Zones | 7 - 9 |
| Fertilization | Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer or an acid-loving plant food in early spring before new growth begins. |
| Pruning | Minimal pruning is required due to its dwarf habit. Lightly shape if needed immediately after the spring bloom cycle. |
| Deer Resistance | High |
