Spotted Laurel
Aucuba Japonica Crotonifolia

Commonly known as spotted Laurel, this is a versatile foliage shrub for almost anywhere in the garden, eventually quite large but still only 1.8m (6ft) after ten years if left un-pruned. Like all Aucuba varieties, 'Crotonifolia' will grow in shade - although its gold-blotched and finely-speckled leaves colour best in full sun - and thrives in most soils, including dry ground near hedges and trees. The colour is retained all year. Shrubs may be pruned as hedges, left to grow unchecked, or lightly trimmed to shape once annually.

Position: Full sun to dense shade

Soil: Any garden soil is suitable except for heavily waterlogged ground

Rate of Growth: Average

Flowering Period: April to May

Flower Colour: Red-purple

Other Features: A massively versatile shrub with gold-blotched and finely-speckled leaves. Can also be grown as a hedge if pruned.

Garden Care: The plant can be encouraged to bush out by pruning back in spring. A generous depth of mulch of well rotted garden compost or manure should also be applied around the base of the plant in spring.
