| Botanical Name | Loropetalum chinense 'Cherry Blast' |
| Description | A spectacular compact variety perfect for the Willis and Houston metro area. Known for its year-round burgundy foliage and explosive cherry-red fringe flowers in spring. While adaptable, it prefers slightly acidic, well-draining soil. To succeed in our local heavy clay, plant in raised beds or mounds with organic amendments to ensure the roots stay healthy and aerated. |
| Exposure | Full sun to partial shade (Full sun yields the best foliage color) |
| Height x Width | 3-4 ft. Tall x 3-4 ft. Wide |
| Water | Moderate; once established, it is relatively drought-tolerant. Supplemental water is needed during intense Houston summer dry spells. |
| Zones | 7 - 9 |
| Fertilization | Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring. Acid-loving fertilizers also work well to maintain foliage health. |
| Pruning | Prune after the main spring bloom to maintain shape or size. Responds very well to light shearing. |
| Deer Resistance | High |
