Description

Common Name: Curly Red Leucothoe

Latin Name: Leucothoe axillaris ‘Curly Red’

Description: A striking evergreen shrub with uniquely twisted, glossy foliage that emerges deep green and matures to rich shades of red and burgundy, especially in cooler months. In spring, it produces delicate, arching clusters of small white bell-shaped flowers that add subtle seasonal interest.

Garden Impact: Perfect for adding texture and year-round colour to shaded borders, woodland gardens, or containers. Its unusual curled foliage creates visual intrigue, making it an excellent companion for other shade-loving plants like ferns, hostas, and rhododendrons.

Light & Water Requirements: Thrives in partial to full shade in moist, well-drained, acidic soil. Keep consistently watered, particularly during dry periods, but avoid waterlogged conditions.

Size (Fully Grown): Approximately 1–1.5m tall and 1–1.5m wide, forming a compact, bushy shrub.
