Lophomyrtus x ralphii Red Dragon is an evergreen shrub valued for its rich red foliage that holds colour well year-round, deepening in brighter light. Small, white blossoms may appear in summer. Grow in full sun or light shade in fertile, moist but well-drained soil, with shelter in colder districts. Excellent for adding long-season colour and structure to mixed plantings or as a focal accent in mild gardens.
