Pizazz Loropetalum (Loropetalum chinense 'Pizazz') is a popular evergreen shrub known for its vibrant pink flowers and burgundy-red foliage. It is a hybrid of two Chinese fringe flower species, L. chinense and L. rubrum, and was developed in the United States in the late 1980s.
Pizazz Loropetalum shrubs can grow up to 6-8 feet tall and wide, and have a dense, upright habit. The leaves are oval-shaped and about 2-3 inches long. The new leaves emerge burgundy-red in the spring, and mature to a deep green color in the summer. In the fall, the leaves turn shades of red, purple, and bronze. The plant produces clusters of small, pink flowers in the spring. The flowers are about 1/2 inch in diameter and have a sweet fragrance.
