DESCRIPTION
Aucuba japonica 'Crotonifolia' is an evergreen shrub prized for its glossy, variegated foliage. The large, leathery leaves feature a vibrant mix of green with golden-yellow speckles, offering year-round interest. This cultivar is particularly admired for its ability to brighten shaded garden spaces. In spring, small burgundy flowers appear, which, if pollinated by a compatible male plant, give way to bright red berries that persist into the fall and winter.
Native to Japan and other parts of Asia, 'Crotonifolia' has been cultivated for ornamental purposes in gardens worldwide. Its robust nature and tolerance for challenging conditions make it a versatile choice for hedges, containers, or as a specimen plant in low-light areas. The combination of ornamental foliage, spring blooms, and colorful berries ensures its enduring appeal in landscape designs.
