Leucothoe keiskei chaparral juicy fruit

juicy fruit

Will withstand some periods of drought once established but appreciates some summer water

Appreciates a site with protection from the hot afternoon sun and regular summer water

Average garden soil is just fine but this clumping perennial needs enough room to be its glorious self

so no need for showy rose hips
