Common Name: Dog Hobble
Leucothoe (dog hobble) is a shrub that is grown primarily for its glossy foliage. Its oval leaves, which can be one colour or marbled, come in shades of green, red and purple, with some varieties turning bronze in autumn. Small, white urn-shaped flowers hang down from the stems between March and May, but provide less of an impact than the leaves themselves.

| Extra Info: | In the UK, it is an easy shrub to grow in shady borders, where it complements other acid-loving plants like skimmia and euonymus. Many varieties are evergreen, which means it looks good year round, ranging in height from 50cm high to 1.5m. |
