Aucuba japonica 'Rozannie'

Common Name:
Japanese Laurel 'Rozannie'

Description:
Aucuba japonica 'Rozannie' is a compact, evergreen shrub known for its glossy, dark green leaves and ability to thrive in shade. Unlike many other Aucuba varieties, 'Rozannie' has solid green foliage rather than variegated leaves, making it a striking choice for formal and naturalistic gardens alike. In spring, small purple flowers appear, followed by bright red berries in autumn and winter if both male and female plants are present, adding seasonal interest. This hardy shrub is highly tolerant of shade, pollution, and dry conditions once established, making it ideal for difficult garden spots, including under trees, borders, and pots.
