- Although not as large as its sister Zhuzhou Loropetalum, the Ruby Loropetalum can grow up to 6 feet tall and 6 feet wide at full mature height and is considered semi dwarf with a round growth habit. This makes the Ruby Red loropetalum a great choice for privacy hedges.
- The Ruby Loropetalum growth rate is slow as it only grows up to 6 to 12 inches per year.
- The best time for planting loropetalum is the spring growing season for optimum growth. To plant a Ruby Loropetalum chose a planting area with full sun to partial shade. Also consider that the Ruby Red Loropetalum likes the soil moist but does not like wet feet or the shrub will contract root rot and potentially die.
- Slightly acidic soils are okay too. A thick 2 inch layer of mulch or organic matter applied around the root zone will help retain moisture during the hotter months. For spacing you can plant them 4 to 5 feet apart. Check out the Grow Guide for Loropetalum Hedges for more information on planting and growing these shrubs!
- This low maintenance, lush purple shrub has become quite the staple in Southern yards! It is easy to grow in USDA growing zones 7-11. The dark purple colorful foliage demands that the root systems stay in well drained soil types. You can apply a slow release fertilizer annually in early spring to stimulate flower production and keep your loro ruby bush looking healthy.
- You can prune this shrub into a small tree if desired. Loropetalum bushes tolerate heavy pruning and bounce back with intense vigor. Always be sure to prune off any dead or diseased branches if your loropetalum looks bad.
