Growing to only about 2 feet in height with a spread of 3 to 4 feet, Purple Pixie boasts some of the most intense purple foliage color of any plant on the market, and the color doesn't fade during summer or winter or in sun or in shade. Vibrant pink, witch hazel-like, fringe flowers are produced in spring, providing a stunning contrast to the the purple, evergreen foliage.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLandscape \u0026amp; Garden Uses\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eWith its low and mounding form, Purple Pixie Loropetalum fits perfectly as an accent in smaller garden spaces or solo in pots, planters and other containers. In larger landscape spaces Purple Pixie is ideal for use as a border, in groupings, or mass plantings. Use it where a low plant is needed in home foundation plantings, as a border along walkways and paths, to cascade over walls, and as a groundcover on embankments, hillsides and slopes for beautification and erosion control. Purple Pixie is one of a very few Loropetalum cultivars that works very well in pots and planters, where it's weeping branches will cascade beautifully over the edges of pots. A fine addition to purple theme gardens, Asian theme gardens and the Xeriscape (low water needs).\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eSuggested Spacing:\u003c\/span\u003e  2.5 to 3 feet apart for mass plantings; 6 feet or more apart for space between plants\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow To Measure Total Square Feet Of A Planting Area\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow Many Plants Needed To Cover A Planting Area?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eNote:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 7a, where this Loropetalum variety is not 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.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrowing Preferences\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eWhen planted right, and in the right spot, Purple Pixie Loropetalum is easy to grow and maintain. It must have well-drained soil. As with so many other ornamental plants, constantly soggy or wet soil can be problematic. So make sure to plant in a well-drained site. In our gardens, we've found that Purple Pixie® Loropetalum grows well in full sun or part shade. It has also shown exceptional tolerance to drought, heat, humidity, insects and disease. Purple Pixie Loropetalum requires no pruning to keep its dense, mounding form. That said, a stray branch can be snipped any time of year to keep the plant tidy.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHelpful Articles\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow To Plant \u0026amp; Care For Purple Pixie Loropetalum\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlant Long \u0026amp; Prosper!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMeet the Wilson Brothers \u0026amp; Staff\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eQuestions?  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eContact Us\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e    \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48145095852186,"sku":"D2LSC 530705342","price":37.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0751\/3263\/3242\/files\/Loropetalum-Purple-Pixie-105_96c97d47-7e24-47aa-9d21-e29215e01a19.jpg?v=1779935910","url":"https:\/\/plant.hcgardenus.com\/products\/purple-pixie-loropetalum-3-gallon-pot-1","provider":"Royal Horticultural Society","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
