Coastal Leucothoe is a compact, slow-growing native evergreen  shrub with a lax, arching multi-stemmed habit.  Its rich, thick dark green foliage emerges tinged with bronze-red and turns purplish-bronze in winter.  Lightly fragrant white flowers are borne in profuse axillary clusters in spring.  Grows best in  partial sun and rich, moist acidic well-drained soils.  Leaves are highly flammable and toxic if ingested.  Deer resistant.
