Description

Leucothoe axillaris 'Curly Red' is a very special evergreen shrub with unique curly leaves. Not only do the glossy, curly leaves have year-round textural interest, their colouring changes throughout the seasons! The curly foliage emerges bright red and matures to rich greens, only to be followed by deep purple tones when winter comes. A year-round spectacle of colour!

This little evergreen shrub has a dense and compact growth habit and thanks to its hardiness it keeps its colours throughout the year. The compact habit and little maintenance requirements make Leucothoe ‘Curly Red’ the ideal shrub for containers on the balcony or terrace and a great addition to any border or garden design.
