Aucuba Green
Aucuba Green is a compact, shade-loving evergreen shrub prized for its glossy, serrated green foliage and year-round landscape appeal. Aucuba Green plants are dioecious, with bright red berries produced abundantly on female plants when a male pollinator is present. In early spring, Aucuba Green displays small purple-maroon flowers, followed by decorative red berries that ripen in fall and persist through winter into spring. Aucuba Green prefers rich, moist, well-drained soils and performs best in partial to full shade. Deer resistant and easy to grow, Aucuba Green is an excellent choice for shaded borders, foundation plantings, and woodland gardens.
