Aucuba japonica 'Rozannie' - Compact Spotted Laurel 3 Litre Pot

Aucuba japonica 'Rozannie' - Compact Spotted Laurel

This compact evergreen shrub offers year-round interest with its dense, glossy dark green foliage and exceptional berry production. Unlike many aucubas, 'Rozannie' is self-fertile, producing abundant clusters of bright red berries without needing a pollination partner, making it ideal for smaller gardens.

Seasonal Highlights

Maintains attractive evergreen foliage throughout the year. Small reddish-purple flowers appear in spring, followed by a profuse display of bright red berries from autumn through winter, providing valuable food for wildlife and vibrant colour when little else is performing.

Key Features

• Compact habit ideal for small spaces
• Self-fertile with abundant red berries
• Dense glossy evergreen foliage
• Excellent shade and pollution tolerance
• Low maintenance and fully hardy

Perfect For

Ideal for small gardens, containers, and urban spaces where pollution may be problematic. Works beautifully in shaded borders, under trees, and as low hedging. Perfect for adding structure and winter interest to shaded areas, and the berries attract birds to the garden.

Growing Tips

Plant in any well-drained soil in partial to full shade. Tolerates some sun but performs best in shade. Prune lightly in spring if needed to maintain compact shape. Water regularly during establishment and prolonged dry periods. Feed in spring with general fertiliser to encourage berry production.

Looks Great With

Pairs beautifully with ferns, hellebores, and winter-flowering heathers. Plant alongside evergreen grasses like Carex or Liriope for textural contrast. Complements gold-variegated plants such as Euonymus or variegated holly for a bright display in shaded areas.

An excellent compact choice for adding structure and seasonal interest to shaded gardens with the bonus of winter berries.
