Another excellent addition to the Jazz Hands® series of Chinese fringe-flower, Jazz Hands® Velvet Loropetalum chinense offers lasting color that is sure to make an impact. This loropetalum has very dark burgundy-purple foliage and has a compact mounding habit. In spring, the dark foliage is packed with vibrant pink streamer-like flowers. Jazz Hands® Velvet has exhibited superior color retention in extensive trialing in Texas and Alabama, as well as healthy growth and fantastic bloom coverage. As with all the loropetalum in the Jazz Hands® series, this shrub has great deer and disease resistance and excellent tolerance for heat and humidity. Another great Jazz Hands® variety from noted Japanese plant breeder Yuji Suzuki.
