Loropetalum (Chinese Fringe Flower) Bonsai Tree – 20cm Pot
Broom Style
The Loropetalum, commonly known as the Chinese Fringe Flower, is a striking and unusual bonsai species admired for its rich foliage colour and vibrant, ribbon-like blooms. Trained in the traditional broom style, this tree features a balanced, rounded canopy that creates a neat and elegant silhouette.
Depending on the variety, Loropetalum typically produces deep burgundy to purple-toned leaves, offering year-round colour interest even when not in flower. In spring, it bursts into life with clusters of delicate, fringe-shaped pink flowers that contrast beautifully against the darker foliage.
Compact and characterful, this bonsai makes a wonderful display piece for patios, balconies, or bright sheltered spaces.
