Discover the vibrant charm of Loropetalum Jazz Hands® Pink, a Proven Winners® ColorChoice® Flowering Shrub that transforms any garden with its striking colors and elegant form. This delightful evergreen shrub is compact and perfect for small spaces, reaching a mature size of just 3 to 5 feet in height and width. It's an excellent choice for adding year-round interest to gardens and containers alike.
One of the standout features of Jazz Hands Pink is its rich, deep purple foliage. The leaves are dense and have subtle cranberry undertones that provide a lush backdrop throughout the year. When spring arrives, the shrub truly shines with a breathtaking display of fringy hot pink flowers. These blooms create a vivid contrast against the dark foliage, adding a burst of color that enlivens any landscape.
With its rounded, mounded habit and moderate to rapid growth rate, Jazz Hands Pink is versatile in its applications. It serves beautifully as a foundation plant or in landscape borders, offering continuous color and texture. Mass planting this Loropetalum can create a stunning visual impact, while its size and shape also make it an ideal specimen plant or a captivating addition to mixed container gardens.
This shrub is incredibly easy to care for, requiring minimal maintenance to thrive. It grows best in sunny to partly sunny locations and prefers moist, well-drained soil with an acidic pH. In Zones 7b to 9, Jazz Hands Pink performs exceptionally well, standing up to heat and resisting deer foraging. For optimal growth, keep young plants consistently moist but not waterlogged. Once established, water deeply but less frequently to encourage robust, deep root systems.
Fertilizing in the spring will support healthy growth and flowering, while any desired pruning should be done after the flowering period to maintain its shape and promote dense foliage. In cooler climates, applying mulch around the base of the plant can help protect the roots and retain moisture.
Loropetalum Jazz Hands Pink brings a touch of elegance and vibrant color to any garden setting. Its stunning foliage and dramatic pink blooms make it a standout choice for gardeners looking to enhance their outdoor spaces with minimal effort. Whether used as a border plant, in containers, or as a focal point, this shrub promises to provide joy and beauty throughout the seasons.
