Leucothoe 'Burning Love' 2ltr

A compact evergreen shrub bred for maximum seasonal impact, Leucothoe keiskei 'Burning Love' lives up to its fiery name with foliage that seems to glow throughout the colder months. Glossy, leathery leaves emerge in rich shades of red before maturing to a deep, glossy green through summer, then blaze back into vivid ruby-purple and burgundy tones as autumn and winter set in, giving this shrub genuine year-round interest.

In late spring to early summer, delicate clusters of small, drooping white flowers appear along the branches, offering a soft contrast to the dramatic foliage colour. Naturally upright and compact in habit, 'Burning Love' is a versatile addition to the garden, equally at home as a specimen accent, worked into shaded borders and woodland-style plantings, or grown in a decorative container on a shaded patio.

This shrub thrives in partial shade and prefers rich, moist, acidic, well-drained soil, making it a lovely choice for a sheltered spot beneath trees or larger shrubs. Low maintenance once established, it needs little more than an occasional tidy in early spring to remove any damaged growth or refine its shape.
