Rainbow Leucothoe
Rainbow Leucothoe (Leucothoe fontanesiana 'Rainbow') is a captivating evergreen shrub admired for its remarkable and colorful foliage. This cultivar features elegantly drooping branches adorned with lance-shaped leaves that exhibit a captivating array of colors throughout the seasons. The new growth emerges as a vibrant blend of shades, including pink, red, and bronze, gradually maturing into glossy green leaves. As autumn approaches, the foliage often transforms into hues of purple and bronze, adding further visual interest. In spring, delicate racemes of tiny, bell-shaped, white to pinkish flowers dangle from the branches, enhancing its beauty. 'Rainbow' thrives in well-draining, acidic soils and prefers partial to full shade, making it an excellent choice for woodland gardens, shady borders, or as an eye-catching accent plant. Its stunning and ever-changing foliage makes it a sought-after selection for gardeners looking to infuse color and charm into their landscapes.
