Japanese Laurel

Aucuba japonica var. borealis, Japanese Laurel is a very hardy large shrub from Japan, tolerant of shady positions due to its native woodland habitat. Glorious glossy dark green leaves, slightly larger than normal Aucuba, with a slight rough serration. Would make an excellent container plant or a very good backdrop to a border. This plant works very well as a structural specimen and is an ideal background to show off other plants against.
