Florida Leucothoe

Agarista populifolia, commonly Florida Leucothoe, is an evergreen native shrub. This plant blooms in late spring with white, fragrant flowers. It can grow up to 12 ft. tall and 6 ft. wide, but should be maintained at 4-8 ft. The growing conditions include part sun to shade in acidic soil. Once the flowers are done blooming, the plant can be pruned back. It is a deer resistant plant, but should not be planted where pets are.
