More about Gold Dust Aucuba...Noteworthy Characteristics
Gold Dust Aucuba is one of the easiest to grow, lowest maintenance, most attractive plants in our shade garden. The large, dark green leaves look as though they've been speckled with yellow paint, adding a tropical feel to the garden.
Uses
Gold Dust Aucuba is useful as a single specimen, in groupings, or as a low-maintenance, colorful hedge in shady landscape beds and foundation plantings. Great for screening AC units and other utilities. Also useful as a background or accent in shady perennial gardens or in container gardens.
Culture & Care Tips
Gold Dust Aucuba is exceptionally easy to grow in locations that provide well draining soil and shade or morning sun with afternoon shade. Afternoon sun will scorch the leaves causing them to turn black in color. It is very drought tolerant when established making it suitable for growing under larger shade trees where not much else will grow. No pruning required though stray or broken branches can be removed any time of year.
