Leucothoe fontanesiana ‘SMNLFGRV’ PP35,833
Choose Paisley Pup® Doghobble for shaded foundations or woodland edges where you want evergreen color without a formal hedge look. The tradeoff: it needs steady soil moisture and room to spread, not hot, dry, exposed sites.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | B+ | The variegated foliage gives shaded beds color, but it reads soft rather than bold from a distance. |
| Growth Rate | B | It fills in at a reasonable pace, not fast enough for quick coverage. |
| Maintenance | B | Routine watering during establishment and avoiding dry soil matter more than pruning. |
| Deer Resistance | A- | Deer usually pass this by, since the foliage deters browsing, though no plant is completely immune where pressure is severe. |
| Small Space Fit | B- | It works in smaller beds only if you allow for its spreading habit. |
| Screening Value | D | It is too low and open for privacy screening. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Paisley Pup® for protected shade beds with amended, moisture-holding soil. Plant it where the foliage is viewed up close; it is not the shrub for filling a wide-open sunny bank.

Very dedicated and professional. We are happy with the way they planted 14 trees for us. 11 green giants, 2 white pines and 1 Norway spruce.
Picked up my plants-ostrich ferns and blue ice amsonia without any problems! Wonderful, responsive owners! Will be buying from them in the future!
Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!
Really great website, communication and installation. Very happy customer and would recommend them.
They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.
I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!
The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
