Description
Purple Diamond Loropetalum boasts the most intense purple foliage color of any plant on the market! Vibrant pink, witchhazel-like, fringe flowers are heavy in spring, appear occasionally in summer, and again in fall. The deep purple foliage provides a stunning contrast for the bright pink flowers. Mature height is about 6 feet with an equal width however plants respond every well to pruning so can be can be maintained at half that size.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing naturally to about 6 feet tall and wide, or kept smaller with occasional pruning, the Purple Diamond Loropetalum is ideal for use as an accent, in groupings or mass plantings, or in straight or staggered rows in home foundation plantings and landscape borders. Its low water needs makes it suitable for use in Xeriscape plantings. The year round deep purple foliage contrasts nicely with plants that have yellow, light green, grey or other light colored foliage or flowers. A fine addition to purple theme color gardens and Asian theme gardens.Â
Suggested Spacing:Â Â 4 to 5 feet apart for solid hedge; Â 10 feet or more for space between plants

Note:Â Â For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 7a, where this Loropetalum is not reliably winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring. Requires a well-lit space for overwintering indoors.
Growing Preferences
Purple Diamond Loropetalum is very easy to grow in most any average, most but well-drained soil and full sun to part shade. Foliage is more dense in full sun. As with so many other ornamental plants, constantly soggy or wet soil can be problematic. When established, plants are exceptionally drought tolerant, requiring little if any supplemental irrigation. Requires no pruning, however responds very well to almost any amount, making it an excellent choice for hedges.

The Purple Diamond Loropetalum was the perfect size, shape and color for the spot I had in mind. Unfortunately, although Oregon’s number one product is nursery plants, this one wasn’t to be found. I ordered from Wilson Bros. in Georgia. The plant arrived in perfect condition. The packing was so well done that even though my housemate (and probably others) laid it on its side, it looked great when I opened the box. The roots looked very healthy – not pot-bound, not immature. ———— WBG Reply: Hi Susan – Thanks so much for the review and sharing your experience with us and future visitors to Wilson Bros Gardens. Hope you enjoy the Loropetalums for years to come. Let us know if there’s ever anything else we can help you with. We’re at your service! – Brent Wilson | Wilson Bros Gardens
The Loropetalums were full and pretty, they were shipped sitting vertically in box and were in great shape when they arrived in about three days. They were well wrapped for shipping and well watered when they arrived, thanks, sharon k. lambert ——— WBG REPLY: Hi Sharon – Thanks for all your compliments and for taking the time to provide us and future visitors to Wilson Bros Gardens with your review. We certainly appreciate the opportunity to serve you, and let us know if there’s every anything else we can do for you. Plant long and prosper! – Brent Wilson | Wilson Bros Gardens
Stephen was very helpful with all of my questions about loropetalum. They arrived in great condition and look wonderful in my landscape!
My original loropetalums were damaged by severe cold temperatures. They were in half barrels and the soil probably was colder than in the ground. These Purple Diamonds are one of my favorite plants so I will take steps to make sure it doesnt happen again. The plants arrived in perfect condition – nice packing.
