Leucothoe fontanesiana 'Nana' ~ Dwarf Leucothoe fruit-trees-and-berry-bushes COMPANION PLANTS: Lenten RoseDwarf Leucothoe is a compact native evergreen shrub that forms a low mound habit with tiny green foliage that emerges red bronze and turns to purple bronze in fall. The foliage tints will take on stronger red tones with more sun. Drooping clusters of fragrant white flowers are borne in profuse axillary clusters in mid spring. Grows best with partial sun in rich and moist, well drained acidic soils. Leaves are highly toxic if ingested. Type: Shrub
