Leucothoe axillaris 'Curly Crazy' ℗
Leucothoe axillaris 'Curly Crazy' is a distinctive evergreen shrub, grown for its unusual twisted foliage and vivid seasonal colour. Its glossy, curled leaves emerge deep red, mature to green through the summer, and then develop striking red and bronze tones in autumn and winter. This constantly changing display provides year-round visual interest, making it a standout feature in any border or container.
In spring, small, urn-shaped white flowers appear, adding a delicate contrast to the bold foliage. Naturally compact and low maintenance, ‘Curly Crazy’ thrives in acidic, moist but well-drained soil, and is especially effective in shaded or semi-shaded positions where its glowing foliage adds brightness and texture. It is an excellent choice for mixed borders, woodland-style planting, or seasonal containers.
