Laurel Rozannie (Aucuba Japonica) hedging plants are delightful compact evergreen plants with elegant lance shaped, glossy dark green leaves that have a gentle serration towards the tips. Growing to approximately 150cm in height with a naturally rounded habit, these hardy plants produce small clusters of reddish-purple flowers in April and May, followed by large decorative bright red berries in Autumn that can last all the way through to Spring – wonderful for the birds and the bees! It is no surprise that this smashing plant is the recipient of the Award of Garden Merit by Royal Horticultural Society.
Laurel Rozannie make a great, low maintenance addition to a garden in a shaded or semi-shaded spot. They are perfect for planting in areas where some other plants may fail due to lack of direct sunlight. Ideal for hedging, or planting on banks and slopes or in mixed borders. Try underplanting with Spring bulbs, or with Brunnera, Heuchera or Geums for splashes of contrasting colour in your garden.
