Two forms of ''L. chinense'' exist; a white- (to pale-yellow-) flowering green-leafed variety and a pink-flowering variety with leaves varying from bronze-red when new to olive-green or burgundy when mature, depending on selection and growing conditions. They are [[evergreen]] with branches forming horizontal layers. The [[leaf|leaves]] are alternately arranged, ovate up to 5 cm long by 3.5 cm wide, and have a slightly abrasive feel. ==Cultivation and uses== ''L. chinense'' grows best in fertile, slightly acidic soil in full sun for deepest foliage colour and is hardy down to -3 deg. It is a popular [[ornamental plant]], grown for its prolific clusters of flowers and (in the case of the pink flowering variety) deeply coloured foliage that may contain various green, copper, purple and red tones. <gallery> Image:Loropetalum-chinensis-rubrum-leaves.jpg|''L. chinense'' var ''rubrum'' leaves Image:Loropetalum-chinensis-rubrum-fruit.jpg|''L. chinense'' var ''rubrum'' fruit </gallery> ==References== *[http://www.floridata.com/ref/l/loro_chi.cfm Floridata: Loropetalum chinense] {{Saxifragales-stub}} [[Category:Saxifragales]]
