Leucothoe fontanesiana ‘Whitewater’
With small racemes of white flowers, drooping from red stems in spring, Leucothoe fontanesiana ‘Whitewater’ is more subtle than some other cultivars. It is grown for its slender, glossy foliage – each dark green leaf is delicately edged with a cream margin. Following this refined and elegant summer display, ‘Whitewater’ erupts into a riot of autumn colour, in crimson and gold. An ideal shrub for shaded acid borders, lovely and rounded and requiring little in the way of maintenance. Height and spread: 120cm (48).
