Is this only winter colour Amy? When I google it, it is always green. I bought it last month because of the beautiful colour. For winter interest.

Klahanie I've been checking my labels ,my mistake sorry mine is called Leacothoe ax,'Zeblid ' not quite the same as yours ... Mine stays this colour permanently ...

Thank you Amy. I will have to watch the changes in the leaf colour. Somehow it is hard to imagine that they will change to green if this is a evergreen plant. I hope it stays this beautiful colour and was mislabelled. I have several plants that the new shoots are red and then turn to green but there is not a single green spot on this "guy". Will see and learn.

Mine is a luscious green 9months of the year, a wonderful medium sized plant. It never seems to fail and is so graceful. It seems to like the morning sun, (not too much) and then dappled shade. I trim mine every now and then.

I have not seen the mahogany, so will look of that.

The colour on this variety (whatever it is) is wonderful Wells.... you will be pleased when you'll find it. Thanks for the information on growing conditions. Appreciated. I will look for another one ......maybe Leacothoe 'Zeblid ' as Amy suggested.
Although, it is difficult to find anything on this Island what is not a main stream. On occasion I stumble over nice plants like this.
