Aucuba japonica 'Crotonifolia' (Pot Size 15L) Crotonifolia Japanese Laurel sold by Boma Garden Centre

Aucuba japonica ‘Crotonifolia’, commonly known as Crotonifolia Japanese Laurel, is a highly decorative evergreen shrub cherished for its broad, glossy green leaves liberally speckled with gold. This striking variegation adds a splash of brightness to shady garden areas, making it an excellent choice for underplanting beneath taller trees or in shadowy corners of the garden where other plants might struggle.Growing to a height and spread of approximately 1.5-2.5 meters, ‘Crotonifolia’ is as versatile as it is attractive, suitable for creating dense, low-maintenance hedges or as a standalone specimen. Notably hardy and capable of thriving in a wide range of conditions, this variety is particularly valued for its ability to bring colour and life to shaded areas. Female plants produce vivid red berries in winter, adding further interest and contrast against the variegated foliage.
