Leucothoe keiskei

Japanese native perfect for gracing the woodland garden.  A terrific workhorse with dark evergreen foliage that provides a backdrop for the fetching inch-long creamy white blooms that dangle beneath arching stems.  Summer foliage matures with a handsome burgundy cast that persists into winter.  This lovely evergreen would be at home cascading over moss-covered rocks and an excellent companion for ferns. 

Mature size: 2 ft tall x 3 ft wide

Minimum temperature: -20° F
