Lucky Leu Leucothoe is a dwarf evergreen shrub with a tidy arching multi-stemmed habit and fine medium green foliage that emerges a sweet peachy-orange. Fragrant white flowers are borne in profuse axillary clusters in spring. Grows best in partial sun and rich, moist acidic well-drained soils. Leaves are highly toxic if ingested. Lucky Leu maintains its shape with little to no pruning.
