Description
Aucuba Japonica Goldeyana 2.5LT is an evergreen shrub known for its glossy dark green leaves heavily splashed with bright golden-yellow variegation. It is ideal for shaded borders, woodland gardens, feature plantings, and containers, where it provides year-round colour and brightens low-light areas. Growing to approximately 1.5–2.5m tall and 1.2–2m wide, this hardy, low-maintenance shrub creates a bold focal point and is well suited to difficult shaded positions.
Care Guide
Type: Evergreen Shrub
Sunlight: Semi-Shade to Full Shade. The foliage colour is best in bright, indirect light, while protection from hot afternoon sun helps prevent leaf scorch.
Water: Water regularly during establishment. Once established, water deeply during prolonged dry periods, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings.
Spacing: Plant 1.2–2m apart to allow each shrub to develop a full, rounded habit.
Frost: Frost Hardy. Established plants tolerate frost well, although severe frosts may mark the leaves. New foliage will emerge in spring, and damaged leaves can be removed as needed.
Maintenance: Prune lightly in late winter or early spring to maintain shape and remove any damaged or overcrowded branches.
