Leucothoe fontanesiana 'Silver Run' - large

An exceptional variegated form of drooping leucothoe (pronounced loo-co'-thuh-way) with leaves that emerge splashed and streaked in an intricate pattern of green, cream, and pink, eventually maturing to cream and green. White sprays of tiny, bell-shaped flowers bloom in early spring. Glossy, variegated leaves are evergreen and held on flexible stems that gracefully arch over each other, forming a low mound. Foliage takes on a burgundy tint in fall. Quite elegant and unusual! A great choice to brighten a shady corner. Makes good cut evergreen stems for winter season decorating. Low maintenance and drought tolerant once established. 2-3' tall and 3-4' wide or more. Part sun/full shade. If grown in more sun, keep moist. Prefers a site with some wind protection. Deer and rabbit resistant. Attracts pollinators and butterflies.
