Marmorata Variegated Aucuba
Aucuba Japonica 'Marmorata'
Marmorata Variegated Aucuba commands attention through striking foliage—large green leaves dramatically marbled with golden-yellow variegation that dominates visual interest throughout the year. Spring purple blooms provide subtle seasonal accent, though the refined leaf pattern remains the primary ornamental focus. This exceptional shade performer reaches 7 feet tall with a 6-foot spread, making it exceptionally versatile for challenging low-light areas, woodland compositions, foundation plantings, container cultivation, and large-scale landscape applications. Its adaptability to difficult growing conditions and sustained year-round visual impact render it invaluable for gardeners seeking reliable performance in shade-dominated environments.
