These Loropetalum China Pink were very lanky and needed a severe prune a couple of months ago. At the time, I was of the mindset that if they resprout, fine, if they didn't, that would have been fine too.
Well, they have responded and are now pushing on new growth.
I have seen Loropetalum's pruned like this before, so I'm not surprised to see them respond like this.
