The main attraction of this shrub is its stunning flowers. The blooms appear in the early spring and last for several weeks. The flowers are deep pink, red, or white, depending on the cultivar. They are spidery in shape with long, narrow petals that resemble fringe, hence the common name "fringe flower." The blooms have a sweet, spicy fragrance that is especially noticeable in the evenings.

Loropetalum Fede is a low-maintenance shrub that prefers well-drained soil and partial to full sun. It can tolerate a wide range of soil types and is drought-tolerant once established. The shrub requires minimal pruning to maintain its shape and size, and it can be pruned after flowering to promote bushier growth and more flowers the following year. This shrub is a great choice for a variety of landscape settings, including borders, hedges, and mass plantings.
