Description:
Leucothoe fontanesiana 'Rainbow' is a shade-loving evergreen known for its striking variegated foliage in shades of bronze, pink, cream, and dark green. It produces fragrant creamy-white flowers with pink buds and turns a rich burgundy in the fall. This plant is deer resistant and thrives in well-drained, moist, acidic soil, tolerating full to partial shade. It can be maintained as a groundcover, growing to about 1-2 feet tall and wide. Pruning in late winter helps maintain its shape, and it benefits from organic fertilizer in early spring.
