In spring, beautiful new leaves are a wonderful mix of pinks, cream, and bronze while the mature foliage below is deep green with white variegation. The leaves turn shades of bronze, burgundy, and red in winter. Drooping elongated clusters of small bell shaped white flowers appear in spring along the gracefully arching branches.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLandscape \u0026amp; Garden Uses\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eGrowing in a mound to 4 feet tall and 5 feet wide, the Rainbow Leucothoe is useful in the landscape as a specimen, in groupings, or as a natural hedge in shady to partly shady areas of the garden.
