An attractive, low growing shrub, Twisting Red has rich, burgundy new growth that contrasts strongly with the dark green mature leaves creating a striking two-toned affect. It has an upright habit with glossy, curled leaves, and a dense, rounded shape that makes this plant ideal for container planting, as well as low borders and edges. Preferring full sun and free draining, acidic soil, this Leucothoe is hardy to both dry and frost prone environments.
