ReJoyce Leucothoe is a dwarf native evergreen shrub that forms a arching habit with fine rich green foliage that emerges bright red and turns deep wine red in fall. Drooping clusters of fragrant white flowers are borne in profuse axillary clusters in mid spring. Grows best with partial sun in rich and moist, well-drained acidic soils. Leaves are highly toxic if ingested.
