TWISTING RED™ LEUCOTHOE

Leucothoe axillaris Twisting Red™ is a striking broadleaf evergreen shrub prized for its dramatic foliage and architectural form. Its most distinctive feature is its curling leaves, which spiral along the stems to create a dense, textured look that stands out in any landscape. The foliage undergoes a beautiful color transformation throughout the year: new growth emerges in striking shades of bronze and deep red, matures to a glossy dark green during summer, and then intensifies into a rich, burgundy-red during fall and winter months. In spring, it produces subtle, small white bell-shaped flowers that dangle beneath the twisted leaves, though the plant is truly grown for its year-round multi-colored display.

Twisting Red™ is a hardy, low-maintenance selection that thrives in partial to full shade, making it a perfect solution for those tricky darker corners of the garden. It prefers moist, acidic, and well-drained soil; it does not like to dry out completely, so adding a layer of mulch will help retain the necessary moisture. It is ideal for woodland gardens, shaded borders, or as a vibrant groundcover under taller trees. Because of its unique texture and cascading habit, it also works exceptionally well in large patio containers where its colorful, spiraling foliage can be admired at eye level.
