An architectural evergreen shrub with arching branches that is totally hardy. The dark-green, oblong, lance-shaped leaves are strongly mottled with cream and pink, making for a stunning show all year. In late spring, Leucothoe fontanesiana 'Rainbow' produces tiny, bell-shaped white blooms in axillary racemes. This vibrant shrub thrives in acidic soil and likes to be in full or partial shade. Acidic borders and woodland gardens benefit greatly from the inclusion of Leucothoe. Height: 1.5m (5'). Spread: 2m (6').
