Leucothoe Axillaris Curly Red (PBR) | 2L Pot

Curly and colourful foliage. Position: partial shade Soil: moist, acidic soil Rate of growth: average Flowering period: spring Hardiness: fully hardy The foliage of this little evergreen shrub are curled and variously puckered, which gives it year-round textural interest, while their colouring also changes throughout the seasons. It initially emerges in a bright pinkish red flush before maturing to a rich, lustrous green, but then, as the temperatures dip for winter, they develop a burgundy tint, which is often present until the temperates start to creep up again in spring. Garden care: Minimal pruning is required. Remove misplaced, dead or diseased branches in late spring.
