Gold Dust Aucuba Tree with deep purple tonesA foliage shrub that lights up the shade. Gold Dust Aucuba is one of those evergreen shrubs that can change the entire feel of a darker planting bed. Its glossy green leaves are splashed with bright yellow flecks, giving the plant a speckled, almost painted look that stands out beautifully in shade and filtered light. When the rest of a shady border feels too flat or too green, this shrub helps wake it up. Evergreen structure keeps it useful all year.
