Leucothoe walteri ‘Firestar’ is an attractive evergreen shrub prized for its glossy foliage and exceptional year-round colour. New growth emerges vibrant red and bronze, maturing to deep green before turning fiery shades of crimson and purple in autumn and winter. Its elegant, arching habit makes it ideal for woodland gardens, shaded borders, or containers. Thriving in partial to full shade, ‘Firestar’ prefers moist, well-drained, acidic soil and is fully hardy once established. Low maintenance and visually striking, it provides long-lasting structure, seasonal interest, and rich colour even in shaded areas.
