How to Prune Chinese fringe flower?
(Loropetalum chinense)
Chinese fringe flower, also known as Strap flower, Fringe flower
With vibrant, fringe-like blooms and evergreen foliage, chinese fringe flower thrives with periodic shaping. Pruning should focus on removing dead or crossed branches, thinning for airflow, and shaping for aesthetics. The ideal time is just after flowering, typically in late winter, to preserve buds for the next season's bloom. Pruning at this time encourages healthy growth and maintains a desirable form. Avoid over-pruning, which can reduce flowering and compromise the natural elegance of chinese fringe flower.
