Coastal Doghobble 'Rejoyce' (Leucothoe axillaris 'Rejoyce') is a compact, broadleaf evergreen shrub prized for year-round foliage and graceful, arching form. In spring, fresh growth can show red tones before maturing to glossy green, and clusters of small, lightly fragrant white flowers appear along the stems. Mature size is typically 24-36 inches tall with a wider, mounding spread, making it an easy choice for smaller gardens and layered plantings.

Plant it in part shade to shade for best performance. It can take more sun if your soil stays evenly moist, but it does not like drought, dry wind, or hot afternoon exposure in dry sites. Give it acidic, humus-rich, well-drained soil, then top-dress with leaf mold or pine fines to keep roots cool and conserve moisture.

Use this native shrub in woodland borders, foundation beds, and naturalized plantings where you want an evergreen backbone without a tall hedge. It also works well on banks and gentle slopes, where the arching habit softens edges. Foliage can take on bronzy winter tones, adding seasonal color even when flowers are finished.

Water regularly during establishment and during extended dry spells. Prune lightly right after flowering if you need to shape or reduce size, and avoid heavy shearing. With steady moisture and protection from harsh drying winds, 'Rejoyce' is a reliable, low-maintenance evergreen accent.
