Aucuba japonica 'Crotonifolia'

Acububa japonica 'Crotonifolia' embraces colour and structure throughout the year. It is the ideal choice of plant for your garden or outdoor space if you are looking to create a formal hedge. One of the key benefits to Spotted Laurel is that it is pollution tolerant, making it suitable and highly recommended in urban and suburban gardens. Spotted Laurel hedging grows on average 20-40cm per year, and we advise pruning this shrub to maintain shape during spring.

Acububa japonica 'Crotonifolia' is a reliable garden plant, as it grows well in most soil conditions, unlike other variegated species. Spotted Laurel will not lose its variegation even in shaded areas. However, please note, Acububa japonica 'Crotonifolia' is not suitable for extremely wet sites.

Like with other Laurel hedging, except Bay Laurel), the leaves and berries are harmful if eaten. If you are looking to grow a plant that provides edible produce such as berries, we have a variety of hedges with berries available to buy online or over the phone.
