A superb colour-changing evergreen shrub, Leucothoe ‘Little Flames’ has glossy green leaves in spring that turn to eye-catching shades of orange and red in autumn. A wonderful way to add low maintenance, long-lasting colour and structure to the garden, it has a neat and compact habit and bright red stems that look great throughout the seasons.
In addition to the fabulous foliage, it also has dainty white flowers in spring, that contrast beautifully with the rich hues of the foliage and add to its striking appeal.
With an elegant, ovate shape to the leaves, densely packed on a compact and neat growing shrub, its vibrant red stems and foliage add uplifting colour and interest to a wide range of partially shaded spaces. Perfect for planting in pots and containers or for admiring as an effortlessly beautiful garden edging, it also fills out gaps in flowerbeds and borders and a range of low maintenance spaces.
Easy to grow, Leucothoe ‘Little Flames’ will flourish planted in a partially shaded place in acidic or ericaceous soil. To keep it looking neat and tidy throughout the year, simply remove any dead or damaged branches.
