| Botanical Name | Loropetalum chinense var. rubrum ‘Peack’ PP18441 |
| Description | ‘Purple Pixie’® is a standout in the Southern Living® Plant Collection, prized for its unique spreading habit and year-round color. It thrives in Houston’s heat and humidity, maintaining its vibrant purple hue even in summer. While adaptable, it requires acidic, well-draining soil. To ensure success in local heavy clay, we recommend planting in a raised bed, amended mound, or large container to provide the superior drainage necessary to prevent root rot. |
| Exposure | Full Sun to Partial Shade (Morning sun with afternoon shade is ideal) |
| Height x Width | 1-2 feet tall x 4-5 feet wide |
| Water | Moderate; prefers consistent moisture. Do not allow to sit in standing water or dry out completely. |
| Zones | 7 - 10 |
| Fertilization | Feed with an acid-loving plant fertilizer in early spring before new growth begins. |
| Pruning | Requires very little pruning. Lightly trim for shape or size immediately after the spring bloom. |
| Deer Resistance | Moderate to High |
