Description
Aucuba Japonica Variegata 2.5LT is an evergreen shrub known for its glossy dark green leaves beautifully speckled with golden-yellow variegation. It is ideal for shaded borders, woodland gardens, feature plantings, and containers, where it provides year-round colour and brightens areas with limited sunlight. Growing to approximately 1.5–3m tall and 1.5–2.5m wide, this hardy, low-maintenance shrub is an excellent choice for creating structure and contrast in the landscape.
Care Guide
Type: Evergreen Shrub
Sunlight: Semi-Shade to Full Shade. Bright, indirect light enhances the variegated foliage, 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 1.5–2m apart to allow each shrub to develop its natural, rounded growth habit.
Frost: Frost Hardy. Established plants tolerate frost well, although severe frosts may cause minor leaf damage. Remove affected leaves in spring as fresh new growth appears.
Maintenance: Prune lightly in late winter or early spring to maintain shape, improve airflow, and remove damaged or overcrowded branches.
