Mad, I don't know which Loropetalum I have, but it is on the west side of
the house, loves life and is growing like mad. We had a Japanese Maple
there which was unhappy and the gardner feller put it in back, on the east
side and put the Loropetalum in that spot. It is now in the ground about 5
years. It has never looked back. Has maroon leaves and pink fringy
flowers.
