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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ng-star-inserted\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"ng-star-inserted\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ng-star-inserted\"\u003eCare Instructions:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr class=\"ng-star-inserted\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ng-star-inserted\"\u003eAucuba '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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Rose Press Garden","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57803615633792,"sku":"COL-7.5L-AUC-GOL-KINX1","price":28.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0490\/3986\/8070\/files\/AucubaGoldenKing7.5LPottedEvergreenShrub.jpg?v=1775715588","url":"https:\/\/www.therosepressgarden.com\/products\/aucuba-golden-king-7-5l-evergreen-shade-shrub","provider":"The Rose Press Garden","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
