Aucuba Rozannie

Add rich evergreen color and a naturally compact form to shaded garden spaces. Rozannie Aucuba features glossy, solid dark green foliage rather than the gold-speckled leaves found on many aucubas. Its mounded habit works well beneath trees, along shaded foundations, or in mixed evergreen borders. Red berries can provide an additional splash of color against the deep green leaves.
