Water: Average to moist, a 2-inch layer of mulch will help keep the soil moist and cool.
Spacing: 4-5 feet apart
Fertilizing: Apply acid loving evergreen fertilizer each spring.
Winterizing: Planting in a protected area from harsh winter winds will help prevent winter damage.
Maintenance & Pruning: Prune only in spring after flowering, and just to shape the plant or remove any dead growth. Blooms form on old wood, so pruning any other time of the year will remove buds.
Plant spacing is based on the ultimate width of the plants. This figure is normally given as a range; for example, 3-5’. If you live in a cold climate and/or want plants to fill in more quickly, plan to space at the shorter end of the range. If you live in a warm climate, are on a limited budget, or are willing to wait longer for plants to touch, use the higher end of the range. Using the larger number is recommended when calculating distance from a building or structure. There’s really no such thing as "maximum spacing": if you don’t want your plants to touch, you can space them as far apart as you’d like. All plant spacing is calculated on center, or in other words, the centers of the plants are spaced one half of their eventual width apart:
Unless you are planting in a straight line, as you might for hedges or edging, space your plants in a staggered or zig-zag pattern for a more interesting and naturalistic look:

This plant arrived. It does not look like the variegated lorapetulum. So small it's ridiculous that Great gardens would sell this specialty plant at this size! How do I return this?

Beautiful will buy more for sure
The most stunning shrub. Various colors.
Healthy beautiful plants
They arrived in prime form and are doing nicely!
The packaging was well done. I planted after 48 hours of acclimation. At this point the plants are looking healthy and seem to be rooting. Thank you.
Very well packed and received in perfect order. Have been planted for a month now and doing very well.
Will be ordering a match this fall. When it’s not 109* in my yard
I live in South Carolina. Can I plant shrubbery now or do I need to wait until fall?
Our general rule of thumb is that planting should be done before the temperatures reach 85 degrees or higher consecutively. If temperatures are already this high in your area, planting is not a good idea. Fall planting, at least 6 weeks before the first frost in your area, is also a wonderful idea!
I grow the non variegated, solid color Loripetalum here in zone 9b. Will the
Variegated one do well here ?
Jazz Hands Variegated® Chinese Fringe-Flower is rated for USDA zones 7-9 so it should do well for your location.
Does this plant do well in a container? How big should the container be?
Hi! Jazz Hands Variegated® Chinese Fringe-Flower reaches 6 feet tall and wide at maturity so it wouldn't make the best container plant. Instead, take a look at Jazz Hands Mini® Chinese Fringe-Flower. This is a dwarf variety that might work better in a container.

Is there a dwarf variety of this shrub
Yes, we offer Jazz Hands Mini, which only grows 1' tall and 2' wide at maturity. Here is a link: https://www.greatgardenplants.com/collections/all/products/jazz-hands-mini-chinese-fringe-flower
I’m in zone 4, if I put jazz hands variegated Chinese fringe in a pot and move inside for dormancy will it come back each year.
It's hard to say - if you are going to attempt it, it will need to be in a cool, bright spot indoors with very good air circulation. If it is too dark or warm, the plant is likely to defoliate and die. It won't necessarily be easy, but it's worth a try if you have the right conditions.
