DESCRIPTION
Leucothoe fontanesiana 'Zeblid', commonly known as Scarletta, is an evergreen shrub admired for its colorful foliage. New growth emerges a vivid bronze-red in spring, maturing to glossy deep green through summer, and taking on rich burgundy tones in fall and winter. In late spring, small clusters of delicate, urn-shaped white flowers appear, gently perfumed and adding a graceful touch beneath the arching branches.
Native to the southeastern United States, Leucothoe fontanesiana is well-suited to woodland gardens and shaded borders. The 'Zeblid' cultivar is celebrated for its compact growth habit and vibrant seasonal foliage, making it an excellent choice for year-round visual interest. Its ability to thrive in a range of settings and its elegant, flowing form lend it versatility in both naturalistic and formal garden designs.
