Purple Pixie Loropetalum
Loropetalum chinensis 'Shanglo' PPIP

Finally, a true dwarf purple leaf Loropetalum! With it's dwarf size and weeping, spreading habit, Purple Pixie is just the plant we've been looking for, for years. Growing to only 1 to 2 feet in height with a spread of 4 to 5 feet, it boasts some of the most intense purple foliage color of any plant on the market, and the color doesn't fade during summer.

Purple Pixie produces vibrant pink, witchhazel-like, fringy flowers in spring, appearing occasionally in summer and again in fall. The flowers provide a stunning contrast to the the evergreen, purple foliage.


Purple Pixie is an easy to grow, low maintenance groundcover shrub useful as a border edger, accent, in small groups, in mass plantings on slopes or embankments, or to cascade over walls in landscape beds and foundation plantings. Also great for container gardens where it will spill over the edges of pots.

In our trial gardens, we've had Purple Pixie growing in sites that provide anywhere from full sun to half a days shade. Though not picky about soil type, well drained soil is essential for this plant.

Purple Pixie Loropetalum May 23, 2011
Reviewer: Linda S Amburgey from Fairhope, AL United States  
I love these plants; unfortunately, one has already died and I am wondering if I can get a replacement.  Is this possible?

The other plants are doing well, so I am not sure what happened.

Your service is great.
