Otherwise known as Switch Ivy, Leucothoe ‘Scarletta' is a handsome evergreen shrub for acidic soils. Young red leaves age to dark green during the growing season before changing again to intense ruby-red during autumn and winter - currently they look as pictured here.
They then develop delicate white lily-of-the-valley flowers in spring. All Country Life orders that include Leucothoe this week will get a second plant free.
