Notes
'Rozannie' spotted laurel (Aucuba japonica 'Rozannie') is a shrub for hedges, privacy screens, shade gardens, and winter interest. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes part sun to full shade and dry to wet, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It stays evergreen, so it gives you color all year. The arching shrub grows slowly and tolerates drought and salt. It blooms in early to late spring.
Pairs well with Lenten rose, Lady fern, Solomon's seal, and White bigleaf hydrangea.
