Leucothoe axillaris, commonly known as Coast Leucothoe, is an evergreen shrub with glossy, dark green leaves that take on reddish-bronze hues in the fall and winter. Typically growing 3-5 feet tall and wide, it features arching branches and produces small white flowers in spring. This low-maintenance plant thrives in partial to full shade and prefers moist, acidic soils. It's an excellent choice for shaded gardens, as well as for erosion control on slopes, thanks to its spreading growth habit. Hardy and adaptable, Coast Leucothoe is perfect for adding texture and seasonal interest to woodland settings or shaded landscapes.
