Cerise Charm Loropetalum PP#23176
Loropetalum chinensis v.r. 'Kurobijin' pp#23176
In USDA zones 7b–8a around Raleigh, Durham, and Cary, Cerise Charm Loropetalum PP#23176 is a shrub used in Triangle yards when mature size, sun, and drainage fit the bed. Piedmont clay rewards a wide planting hole, a slightly high crown, and steady first-season water. Give it the open sky it wants; west-facing walls in July still cook tender foliage. Seasonal flowers are usually why it earns a street-facing spot. Fall planting is the usual window here; water through the first summer no matter the calendar.

Common questions
Is Cerise Charm Loropetalum PP#23176 a good plant for Raleigh and the Triangle?
Yes—when the site matches its light and drainage needs. Cerise Charm Loropetalum PP#23176 is used in Raleigh, Durham, and Cary landscapes in USDA zones 7b–8a. Confirm mature width, overhead wires, and how wet the Piedmont clay stays after storms before you plant.
When should I plant Cerise Charm Loropetalum PP#23176 in North Carolina?
Fall (October–November) is the safest window for Cerise Charm Loropetalum PP#23176 in the Piedmont: soil is still warm, air is cooler, and roots can grow before summer. Spring after the last frost works if you can water deeply through the first hot season.
Will Cerise Charm Loropetalum PP#23176 grow in Piedmont clay?
It can, with careful planting: wide hole, crown slightly above grade, and no water sitting on the root flare. Heavy, poorly drained clay is the usual failure mode—not summer heat alone.
Does Cerise Charm Loropetalum PP#23176 lose its leaves in winter?
No. Cerise Charm Loropetalum PP#23176 is evergreen and keeps foliage year-round, which is why it is used for winter structure and screening in Triangle yards.
How much sun does Cerise Charm Loropetalum PP#23176 need?
It performs best in full sun—about 6 or more hours of direct light. Afternoon shade can help in reflected-heat courtyards, but too little sun usually means weaker flowering or open growth.
