Description
Leucothoe racemosa ‘Shooting Star’ Graceful deciduous shrubs with glossy foliage. Long racemes of pure white urn-shaped flowers from the ends of the branches in late spring. Good fall foliage color and with smooth and shiny blackish bark. Our own selection of this beautiful and rarely grown rhododendron relative grown from my collection in northern Virginia. This clone has longer racemes and a greater abundance of flowers than any other form I have seen. An underused shrub for light shade or sun. This was my favorite native deciduous shrub during my time as a horticulturist on the east coast. (-15) RSBG
