Jazz Hands Variegated® Loropetalum

Cream-edged purple foliage all year, lit up by ribbony hot-pink blooms from spring into summer.

Jazz Hands Variegated® Loropetalum (Loropetalum chinense 'Irodori') is an evergreen Chinese fringe flower grown for one of the most striking leaf displays in the genus. Each oval leaf emerges deep burgundy-purple and matures with irregular cream-to-pink margins, so the whole shrub reads as a shifting tapestry of plum, pink, and ivory. In spring and again into summer it scatters clusters of spidery, strap-petaled blooms in vivid fuchsia-pink that hover against the dark foliage. It settles into a rounded, well-branched mound of 4 to 6 feet tall and wide, holding its color through the seasons rather than fading after a single show.

Why growers choose the Jazz Hands Variegated® Loropetalum

• Year-round color. The variegated purple, cream, and pink foliage carries the planting in every season, not just during bloom.
• Fringe-flower blooms. Clusters of thread-like hot-pink flowers open in spring and rebloom into summer for a long display.
• Evergreen structure. It keeps its leaves through winter in zones 7 to 9, giving you a permanent backbone in the border.
• Easy, moderate grower. A dependable rounded habit at 4 to 6 feet means it stays in scale without constant correction.
• Pollinator-friendly. The fringy blooms draw bees and butterflies when they are open in the warm months.

Use it as a colorful foundation shrub, a low informal hedge or screen, a bold anchor in a mixed border, or a standout focal point where its plum-and-cream foliage can play against greens and golds.
