Culture Winter hardy to USDA Zones 7-10 where plants are best grown in rich, humusy, acidic, moist, somewhat gritty, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. Conservatively, this plant is best in USDA 8 or more, but it may do well in Zone 7 if planted in a protected location.

Best sited in sunny areas with some afternoon part shade. In areas where winter temperatures are likely to dip into the teens, plants should be sited in locations protected from winds and given a root mulch. Mulch also helps plants retain soil moisture in summer. Plants generally produce best flowers and leaf colors in sunnier locations.

Little pruning is needed other than what is necessary to maintain size and shape.

Lightly aromatic, spidery flowers bloom in clusters in spring (late March-April). Each flower has four narrow, downward-drooping, strap-shaped white petals (3/4' wide and 1/16' long). A number of cultivars featuring showy reddish purple leaves (var. Rubrum) are available in commerce.

Genus name comes from the Greek words loron meaning strap and petalon meaning leaf or petal in reference to the form of the flower petals. Specific epithet means China in reference to part of its native range. 'Rubrum' is a pink to red flowered cultivar.
