Leucothoe axillaris, also known as Coastal Doghobble or Coast Leucothoe, is a beautiful evergreen shrub native to the southeastern United States. It boasts 2-4 feet height and 6 feet width, making it perfect for naturalizing, borders with other ericaceous plants, facer plants with taller plants, and shady bank stabilization. Its summer foliage is simple, dark green and leathery, and its fall foliage features a reddish, bronze winter color. Additionally, its white flowers bloom in axillary racemes up to 2.5 inches long. This shrub prefers moist soil and partial shade, making it perfect for gardens with cool, acidic soils. It is also an excellent treatment for itching and rheumatism.
