Loropetalum chinense 'Fire Dance' is an eye-catching ornamental shrub, celebrated for its vibrant display of colors. It features rich, ruby-red foliage that persists throughout the year and is complemented by bursts of intense, hot pink, fringe-like flowers that typically bloom in late winter to early spring. This particular variety stays compact and bushy, making it a fantastic choice for adding a persistent splash of color to mixed borders, foundation plantings, or even containers in milder climates.
