Grown for its colorful foliage which it retains year-round AND for its
ability to thrive in shade - even HEAVY SHADE.
Plant alone as a specimen or space 3-4' apart when planting in groups
of three or more in the border. GOLD and GREEN leaves really brighten
shady spots in the garden.
Variegated Aucuba matures at 4-5' tall and wide. May easily be
maintained at 3-4' tall and wide with once-a-year trimming anytime
between March and August.
Expect 6-12" of growth a year.
Plant in a spot which receives a bit of shade from the hottest part of
the afternoon Summer sun or even in quite heavy shade.
