Illuminate the darker corners of your garden with the breathtaking Leucothoe fontanesiana Whitewater, a premium evergreen shrub prized for its elegant, arching stems and luminous foliage. This sophisticated variety features narrow, glossy leaves intricately marbled with dark emerald green and crisp ivory-white. In spring, the plant is adorned with delicate, drooping clusters of pearly-white, bell-shaped flowers that resemble Lily of the Valley. As autumn arrives, the variegated leaves take on a spectacular deep burgundy and plum-purple flush, providing vibrant winter interest. Reaching a mature height and spread of approximately 90–120cm, Whitewater's pendulous habit makes it an exceptional choice for cascading over low walls, brightening woodland borders, or adding year-round luxury to large patio containers.
