When to trim a Chinese fringe flower?
Loropetalum is commonly called chinese fringe flower. It is semi-evergreen, dropping some leaves during winter — but rarely dropping all leaves. As a spring bloomer, loropetalum should be pruned after flowering. Loropetalum, commonly known as chinese fringe flower, is regarded as a relatively easy shrub to grow and thrives in the warmer usda growing zones of 7-10. There are a few bacterial and fungal diseases that can cause problems such as leaf spot, root rot, powdery mildew of the foliage, and persistent gall infections.
Why is my Chinese fringe flower dying?
Soil is too alkaline Fringe flowers are generally pretty relaxed about soil conditions, and can tolerate a variety of soil types. However, the wrong pH can make it hard for plants to take up the nutrients they need to put on new, healthy growth. In the landscape, site your fringetree in average to moist, well-drained soil with a slightly acidic pH of 6. The fringetree will grow in partial shade to full sun. For prolific blooms, choose full sun; for brilliant autumn color, part shade is best.
