Lorapetalum 'Purple Pixie'

10 years ago

As I read around the web, I see lots of early excitement about this Lorapetalum, but now that it has been out for several years, what has the experience been? If you've tried it, do you love it or loathe it? How large did it really get? Did you have any problems? What's the best way to use it? I love purple foliage, so I'd love to love this one.

Not fan. I have two. Perhaps they should get more sun than I have them in but they have remained very small. I see them at a neighbor's house and they are much happier in full sun, facing north than my part sun facing south.

Thank you, Cynthia. I believe I saw your earlier posts when you contemplated and purchased them, so it is nice to get the update.
