Loropetalum chinense var rubrum 'Fire Dance'
10th November 2013
I have just bought a rooted cutting and it has immediately flowered, so here it is!
A chinese relative of the Witch Hazels, it will eventually make a small shrub and hopefully continue the winter flowering habit.
The typical species has white flowers but it is the pink forms that are becoming popular in cultivation.

As with many shrubs in the garden, this one spent far too long in a pot before I finally found a space for it outside last year.
