The Picturata Aucuba is an evergreen shrub that thrives in shade, known for its large, dark leathery green leaves with a golden yellow center. It can also produce small purple flowers in the spring, which then turn into red berries in the fall if a male aucuba is planted nearby. This vibrant broadleaf shrub boasts bold, upright stems and is an ideal accent for shady areas. It works well in beds and borders, as hedges, screens, on the patio, and even in containers. The Picturata Aucuba grows best in USDA zones 6-10 and prefers partial sun to shade, along with moist, well-drained soil. With its dense and rounded habit, the mature Picturata Aucuba can reach a height and width of 4-6 feet. It is also commonly known as Spotted Laurel and is native to moist woodland areas, thickets, and valleys spanning from Japan to China and the Himalayas. The botanical name of this plant is Aububa Japonica 'Picturata', but it is also known by various other common names including Picturata Aucuba, Spotted Laurel, Spotted Laurel 'Picturata', Japanese Laurel 'Picturata', Japanese Aubuca 'Picturata', Gold-Leaf Plant 'Picturata', and Variegated Laurel 'Picturata'.
