The foliage is complemented with clusters of small, white flowers in spring as it grows to 50 cm tall and 1 m wide. Leucothoe Nana is commonly included in mixed plantings or borders, mass planted as a groundcover, maintained in a container, planted around outdoor living areas such as pools, or used anywhere vibrant colour is desired.
