Leucothoe axillaris 'Curly Gold'
Leucothoe axillaris 'Curly Gold' is a compact evergreen shrub with distinctive curled and twisted foliage. New leaves emerge orange-red, changing to golden yellow and then developing a mix of golden-yellow and green shades as they mature.
Its dense, bushy habit brings colour and texture to mixed borders, woodland-style planting and patio containers. The evergreen foliage provides interest throughout the year, making it useful as a small specimen or planted in groups alongside other shrubs that enjoy acidic soil.
Grow in full sun or partial shade in moist but well-drained, acidic soil. Use ericaceous compost in containers and water regularly during dry spells, avoiding both waterlogging and a dry rootball. Lightly shape only when needed to maintain its compact habit.
