Brighten up the darkest corners of your garden with the resilient and radiant Aucuba japonica 'Golden King', also known as the Spotted Laurel. This hardy evergreen shrub is a champion of the shade, featuring large, leathery, forest-green leaves that are heavily speckled with bright gold variegation. It provides an instant splash of "sunlight" to areas where other plants might struggle to thrive.

'Golden King' is an upright, rounded shrub that offers excellent year-round structure. It is incredibly tough, tolerating atmospheric pollution and dry shade, making it a perfect choice for urban gardens, woodland borders, or as a vibrant, low-maintenance hedge. As a female variety, if a male pollinator is nearby, it may also produce bright red berries in autumn, providing additional interest and a treat for local wildlife.

Care Instructions:
Aucuba 'Golden King' is exceptionally easy to grow and performs best in partial to full shade; in fact, too much direct afternoon sun can actually scorch its beautifully variegated leaves. It is happy in most soil types, including heavy clay, provided it is well-drained. Once established, it is remarkably drought-tolerant. To keep the shrub looking its best, prune back any wayward branches in mid-spring. Water regularly during the first year to help it establish a strong root system.
