LEUCOTHOE fontanesiana Whitewater® 'Hobb' PPAF |
||||
|
Description: A wonderful new variegated cultivar of native leucothoe. Whitewater® is a graceful shrub with arching stems. In the spring, the stems are adorned with a profusion of white urn shaped flowers borne at each internode in long racemes on the previous seasons’ growth. Flowering is followed by emerging new growth in beautiful shades of wine, pink, copper and green. As new growth matures, the leaf color is a beautiful dark green surrounded by an ivory white margin. Whitewater® Leucothoe is best planted in shaded garden locations having moist, well drained organic rich soils. Since it is a vigorous grower, it is also useful as a shade foundation plant or massed in a large shady, naturalized planting. Annually removing some of the oldest stems to the base of the plant and any new shoots lacking white variegation promote vigorous new stems and develop a full and healthy plant. Shows great heat tolerance and performs well in USDA Zones 4-9. Whitewater® also exhibits greater disease resistance than other Leucothoe fontanesiana cultivars. | ||||
