If you want reliable color in a shade border, Leucothoe keiskei 'Leafscape(TM) Burning Love' brings bold foliage from season to season. This Japanese Leucothoe 'Leafscape(TM) Burning Love' stays compact (about 20-24 inches tall) and keeps an evergreen structure that looks neat all year.

New growth emerges with rich red tones, then settles into deep green for summer, and shifts again to burgundy to purple-red shades through fall and winter. It is a great choice when you want long-lasting color without relying on flowers, though it may produce small spring blooms.

Plant it in full sun to shade; you will usually see the strongest foliage color with some sun, while afternoon shade helps in warmer climates. Use acidic, well-drained soil that stays evenly moist, and add mulch to keep roots cool and conserve moisture. Once established, keep an eye on watering during dry spells, especially in containers.

Use it as an accent, in mass plantings, or along woodland edges where its changing foliage can be enjoyed up close. Minimal pruning is needed; if you do shape it, prune lightly after flowering to keep its naturally dense form.
