#ProPlantTips for Care:
Leucothoe are woodland natives that grow well in a site in part shade with deep, acid, well-drained soil amended with plenty of organic matter. Northern growers can plant theirs in more sun, but hot climates should consider a location with afternoon shade to full shade. Despite their leathery texture, the leaves are easily damaged by winter wind and hot sun. Plant in a protected location so northern drying winter winds won't burn the leaves.
Provide regular water access for new installations and do not let them dry out. These hardy shrubs handle occasional flooding and high moisture sites. Water your shrubs very well in the autumn so they do not go into a cold climate winter with dry roots. A 3-4 inch deep layer of arborist mulch or bark chips and/or compost is essential for a stress-free shrub!
- Great for Partial to Full Shade (More Color In Part Sun)
- Rich Well-Drained Soil
- Moderate Regular Moisture
- Appreciates Mulched Beds
- Prune If Needed After Flowering
- Easy Care & Low-Maintenance
- Deer Tend To Leave It Alone
Fiery color and space-saving size, the Burning Love™ Dwarf Leucothoe will cast your landscape in vivid colors all year long! Order yours today at NatureHills.com and we'll ship these vibrant shrubs to your doorstep!
