Loropetalum (Chinese Fringe Flower) Bonsai Tree – 20cm Pot
Shaped
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 shaped 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.

Trees
- Image shown is of the actual tree you will receive unless stated otherwise in the actual product's description
- The height given is from the base of the pot to the top of the tree.
- The tree received may be slightly different from the picture. Whilst we try to keep the photos of our trees as up to date as possible, these are live plants and, as such, will continue to grow and change slightly in between the times we take the photos.
Pots
- Some of our Bonsai pots are bought in bulk and unfortunately it's impossible to photograph each single item so the photograph used is taken from one random item of each collection we sell. In 99% of cases this means that any differences won't even be noticeable, however, if you have seen a particular image of a pot that has a certain streak of paint in a certain place, bear in mind that the pot you receive may not be 100% identical to this.
