Clifton's Flower & Garden Center

Razzleberry, or Lorapetalum is an exciting plant for North American gardens! Clusters of raspberry red fringed flowers appear winter into spring. Showy new growth is burgundy tinged, maturing to olive green. Evergreen. Full to partial sun. Moderate-growing to 4 to 6 feet tall, 4 to 5 feet wide or clip to shape. This outstanding three season specimen should become a featured focal point. Use in shrub borders for late season foliage interest. Provides unique effects against light value evergreens and as a dark background for high contrast perennials in mixed beds. It's a fine foundation plant to highlight important points in the architecture or to call attention to entries and gateways. Excellent choice for adding background interest to fountains and water gardens. Worth considering for color accent in stark modern landscapes or to add depths to vintage Craftsman era home gardens. Hardy to USDA zone 7 and all higher zones.
