Leucothoe Axillaris Mix
These attract the eye with their beautiful foliage which is at its best in the winter months when it turns to enticing, sometimes almost metallic shades of red, bronze and purple. There are some variegated forms including Leucothoe fontanesiana 'Makijaz' which is exuberantly blotched and splashed with cream shades as well. The fontanesiana forms have small clusters of white bell flowers in spring, but these aren't noticeable from even a short distance. They make good, quite low growing spreading shrubs and are often used for ground cover. Leycesteria keiskei forms are small and compact with red shoots and more noticeable white flowers. The Sierra laurel, Leucothoe davisiae, has pretty white flowers held above the foliage that appear in June. Leucothoe axillaris 'Curly Red' is a recent introduction with curling, somewhat corrugated foliage that makes superb eye-candy. It takes on red tones during winter. Leucothoe like acid soils though some will tolerate neutral conditions. They are shrubs for shady sites.
