Leucothoe shrubs (sometimes known as dog hobble), have glossy, evergreen leaves that often turn bronze or red in winter and add year-round interest to garden landscapes. These shade-loving plants are ideal for woodland gardens, shaded borders, and as ground cover under trees, where they can create a lush, layered effect.
