LEUCOTHOE axillaris PP17,666 'Curly Red' (SOLD OUT)
|
Hybridized/Introduced By: Introduced by Ron van Opstal Boomkwekerijen BV Holland
Description: This variety was found in 1996 as a sport of the variety 'Zeblid'. This densely branched broadleaf evergreen shrub features thick, leathery, curly leaves that change color with the seasons. The young shoots are orange-red maturing to a dark bronze green and then turning a deep red in the autumn. This conspicuous plant is ideal for planting in containers or the garden. 'Curly Red' is a good cover for shady banks and looks great in mass plantings. It is well suited as an undergrowth plant, and mixes well with green foliage shrubs. 'Curly Red' lends itself to topiary culture.
