Aucuba Japonica Variegata Spotted Laurel Evergreen Shrub Plant 2L Pot

Aucuba japonica Variegata, commonly known as Spotted Laurel, is a hardy evergreen shrub with large, glossy leaves in dark green, flecked with golden yellow speckles. Its dense, bushy, upright habit brings lasting structure and colour to shaded parts of the garden, where the bright variegated foliage stands out clearly throughout the year.

Well suited to partial shade or full shade, this versatile shrub works particularly well in shaded borders, woodland gardens, hedging and screening schemes. It is also tolerant of urban and coastal conditions, making it a practical choice for a range of outdoor settings where evergreen presence and strong foliage interest are wanted.
