Jazz Hands Mini® Chinese fringe-flower
Loropetalum chinense 'Beni Hime' PP#27,752Loropetalum ‘Jazz Hands Mini’ is a petite evergreen shrub celebrated for its dense, low-growing habit and vibrant color contrast. Its deep purple foliage provides a striking backdrop for clusters of bright pink, fringe-like flowers that bloom primarily in spring, with occasional reblooming throughout the growing season. This dwarf variety is ideal for small gardens, container plantings, low borders, or foundation accents, offering year-round visual appeal without dominating the landscape.
Thriving in warm climates, ‘Jazz Hands Mini’ performs best in full sun to partial shade, which helps maintain its rich foliage color. Its low-maintenance requirements and adaptability make it a favorite for gardeners seeking compact plants with high ornamental value. Mass planting can create a colorful groundcover effect, while a single specimen serves as a bold accent. Evergreen foliage ensures consistent structure and texture, enhancing the garden even when the plant is not in bloom.
