I just bought this variety at Lowe's Home Improvement Store today. There was no information about the mature size of this variety. Has anyone heard of this variety and have information regarding it? I did an Internet search and could find nothing. I know what most varieties grow to, but I also know some smaller varieties are being developed and wondered if this is one. I'd appreciate any knowledge you can share.

I too purchased this plant at Lowes and wish I could give you an answer. It is very pretty and obviously can be kept at a specific size, but I also would appreciate any knowledge if anyone out there knows of this plant. I have some friends that are horticulturalists and will try to find some answers. If I do I will certainly pass them along.
Hi Mar again,
I just spoke with the Garden specialist at Lowe's ( I used to work at Lowe's in the same position and know Adrian well) and he said that it will have generally the same dimensions and characteristics as Loropetalum chinensis 'Pizzaz'. 6-8' high and wide but can definitely be kept smaller. I am going to keep mine about 3-4' as they are going in front of the house and I don't want them rising above the raised porch. Great color don't you think?
