Southern Living Emerald Snow Loropetalum Live Shrub in 2-Gallon Grower Pot

The Emerald Snow Loropetalum from the Southern Living Plant Collection is a unique green-leaved Loropetalum that features creamy white blooms in spring, occasionally re-blooming in summer and fall. Growing only 4-6' H x 3-4' W, these dense shrubs produce a layered growth habit requiring little pruning. This dwarf specimen is great for planting in the landscape in mass plantings, low-hedges, on slopes, foundations, and as accents and can also be used in mixed container gardens. Emerald Snow will thrive in USDA zones 7-10 and will grow best when planted in well-drained, slightly acidic soil in an area that will receive full sun to part shade. When planting this Loropetalum, dig the hole twice as wide as the pot and mix rich garden soil in with your native soil, then leave the top of the root ball 1/2 inch above the ground level when filling the hole with soil. Use a slow release granular fertilizer in Spring. Not guaranteed to be in bloom on arrival.
