Aucuba japonica 'Variegata'

A stunning evergreen shrub with dazzling foliage more than deserving of the moniker 'Gold Dust Plant'. This bushy plant has superb foliage, glowing a mottled gold-green that glows when caught by sunlight. It's a shade lover, perfect for adding constant visual interest in filtered or sun-dappled plantings - as hints of sun catch the plant, different areas will appear to light up, adding an element of elegance and delight constantly in flux. Small purple-red flowers grow in spring, often hidden below foliage, though add to the spectacule when visible. Perfect for brightening up darker areas of the garden, and is a popular potted plant option for smaller spaces or indoor growing.
