Aucuba Japonica Crotonifolia Spotted Laurel Evergreen Shrub Plant 2L Pot

Aucuba japonica Crotonifolia, commonly known as Spotted Laurel, is a hardy evergreen shrub with large, glossy green leaves splashed with golden yellow variegation. Its bold foliage brings lasting colour and structure to shaded parts of the garden, making it a strong choice for woodland settings, borders, hedging and foundation planting.

With a dense, bushy, upright habit, this variety is suited to screening and year-round privacy. It is exceptionally tolerant of deep shade, dry conditions, urban pollution and coastal exposure, and may produce bright red berries on female plants.
