Doghobble 'Scarletta'

About this plant

Add a dynamic touch to your landscape with the captivating Doghobble 'Scarletta'. This exceptional evergreen shrub transforms throughout the seasons, emerging with brilliant scarlet new growth in spring that matures to a rich, glossy green. As autumn and winter approach, its leaves deepen to stunning shades of burgundy and purple, providing continuous visual interest and a burst of color when other plants fade. 'Scarletta' is an outstanding choice for shady borders, woodland gardens, or as a striking accent plant in containers. Its elegant, slightly arching branches and neat, compact form create a refined texture in any setting. Delicate, bell-shaped white flowers appear in spring, adding a subtle charm before the foliage takes center stage. Hardy and relatively low-maintenance, this cultivar is more resistant to leaf spot than other Leucothoe varieties, making it a reliable and beautiful addition to your garden palette.

Care & maintenance

Prefers moist, well-draining, acidic soils. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and keep roots cool. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape or remove any dead/damaged wood. Avoid heavy pruning as it blooms on old wood.
