DESCRIPTION:
Aucuba Japonica is an evergreen shrub that grows 6 to 10 feet.
tall with colorful, green and yellow-gold leaves as much as 8 inches long.
The flowers aren’t particularly ornamental, but attractive red berries replace
them in the fall if a male plant grows nearby. The flowers and fruit often hide
behind the foliage.
A true collector's gem suited for the shadiest of gardens, this handsome
shrub's lustrous, colorfully variegated foliage will brighten dim spaces.
Perfect for foundation plantings, woodland gardens or low hedging.
A fantastic container accent for covered patios or well-lit indoor spaces.
The ideal soil is moist with a high organic content, but the plants tolerate
most any soil, including heavy clay, as long as it is well drained.
Water often enough to keep the soil moderately moist using cold water.
Hot water from a hose that has been left in the sun can encourage disease.
