Fertilize the Loropetalum in April or after spring blooming and again in June to encourage growth. Use a slow-release ballanced tree and shrub food. Follow the directions on the package, but apply the fertilizer lightly. Water in well so as not to burn shallow feeder roots.

Plant Purple Pixie Loropetalum in sites that provide very well-drained soil and full sun to half a days shade. I've had this plant growing in my landscape since 2008 in both full sun and part shade and all are doing well. A few I had planted in an area where the soil stayed too wet bit the dust. So, make sure to plant them in well-drained sites. Purple Pixie can be useful in the landscape as a groundcover on slopes, as a border, in small or large groups to provide bold splashes of color, or in containers where it will spill over the edges.

Purple Pixie is a low-growing, dwarf form of loropetalum that requires little if any pruning, only to remove a stray or broken branch.

In the four years I've been growing this plant in my own landscape, I've yet to see any problems with insects, pests, or disease. Consistently wet soil can be a killer.
