Florida leucothoe is an excellent choice for landscaping along a stream or creek; it loves the moisture, and its arching branches look so pretty spilling over the banks.
In the woodland garden Florida leucothoe creates the perfect evergreen background for lacy ferns, fringed bleeding heart, foamflower, native columbine, and other delicate woodland treasures.
Though Florida leucothoe thrives in damp situations, it can also be surprisingly tolerant of drought.

 Ed's Favorites - LEUCOTHOE 'RAINBOW'
Unfortunately leucothoe catesbaei 'Rainbow', is not very well known so it is often over-looked by both homeowners and professional landscapers.
All varieties of leucothoe often have a tendency to grow a little spindly, so pruning will help create a bushier neater appearing plant.

 Plant Encyclopedia: Leucothoe   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
The name comes from Leucothoe in Greek mythology, the daughter of Orchamus the king of Babylon and Eurynome; her lover Apollo transformed her into a shrub after his rival Clytia buried him alive.
Leucothoe thrives in the shade, and, providing an adequate supply of moisture can be assured during the growing season, they can be relied upon to settle in and "do the trick".
They are great with other deciduous species, too; for instance, Leucothoe fontanesiana 'Nana' is a marvelous, light woodland companion for Japanese Maples: Acer 'Bloodgood', and the cut-leaved forms Acer 'Garnet', Green Mist' and 'Tamukeyama'.

They found sedums and coneflowers that hold their seedpods; trees like the paperbark maple and crimson frost birch that are dramatic when leafless; and they left the tufts and plumes of summer grasses to stand as reminders of the season gone by.
