Description

Sporting bold, tropical-like dark green leaves that look as though they’ve been heavily speckled with yellow paint, the Gold Dust Aucuba is one of the easiest to grow, lowest maintenance, most attractive plants in our shade garden and will surely light up the shady areas of your garden. Because no other plants share similar foliage, this Aucuba is an indispensable shade plant that compliments all other plants nearby.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing 5 to 6 feet tall and wide and handling dense shade to part shade, Gold Dust Aucuba is ideal as an accent or in groupings under the canopies of large shade trees and in other shady areas. They are also great for use in landscape borders and home foundation plantings as an accent, natural hedge, or in small to large groupings. It’s tropical-looking evergreen leaves make Gold Dust Aucuba plants a perfect choice for bringing a flare of the tropics to your landscape, perennial shade garden or rock and Xeriscape (low water needs) gardens. What’s more…you can grow this flashy beauty year-round indoors as a houseplant!

Suggested Spacing: 4 feet apart for solid hedges; 8 feet or more apart for space between plants

Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 7a, where this Aucuba variety is not reliably winter hardy outdoors, you can enjoy it in containers as a year-round houseplant or that can be kept outside during the warm seasons and moved indoors during winter.

Growing Preferences

Aucuba are very easy to grow and low maintenance plants that like a moist to somewhat dry well-drained soil of average fertility and shade to part shade. As with so many other ornamental shrubs, constantly soggy or wet soils are problematic. Aucuba thrive in the shadiest of spots, even under the canopies of large trees and decks where lawn grass and many other plants are difficult to grow. Morning and evening sun are fine but avoid exposure to direct afternoon sun, which can scorch leaves.

It is surviving so far. I don’t know how long it will be in good condition. Normally plants do not grow any larger and die out. It is almost like cut flowers; for a while they are O.K., but do not last long due to very shady surroundings.—————————————————–Hopefully it will thrive. We are so glad you are pleased with your purchase! Thanks for the review! Beth | WBG 🙂

Plant was packed very well and very healthy. Looking forward to watching it grow.——————————————————We are so glad you are pleased with your purchase! Thanks for the great review! Beth | WBG 🙂

The gold dust aucuba survived days in a box and looked just like local nursery 3 gallon aucuba. Have been in the ground for a couple of weeks and looking good!!—————————————————We are so glad you are pleased with your purchase! Thanks for the kind words and great review! Beth | WBG 🙂

This is the third time I have purchased plants from Wilson Bros. Each time the plants arrive healthy and well packaged.

Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

I have purchased all kinds of products on line for years and have never written a review. I felt I needed to write a review not only for this plant but also Wilson Bros. In addition to Gold Dust Aucuba 3 gallon I also purchased Silver Smoke Arizona Cypress, 1 gallon. I am more then happy with my purchase, the cost of my purchase and the condition the plants arrived in. Plants look super healthy and the quick delivery, packaging and customer service was excellent. I have attached a pick of the plants I purchased. The Gold Dust Aucuba is still in it’s pot that it arrived in and the Silver Smoke I have repotted. I do a lot of landscaping and will certainly return to look for future plants. FYI, I was not asked or offered any incentive write a review .——————————————–Thanks so much for the photo!

After seeing a few mature Japanese Laurel trees in Virginia I became desirous of planting 2 in my yard. Although one can be leery of ordering plants on line I was impressed with the two specimens I received. Really nice looking and great plants, shipped quickly and packed in a careful manner that didn’t allow for damage. They are now planted in my yard and I look forward to their progression. I would have no hesitation in ordering vegetation from your company again in the future. Thank you.———————————-We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks for the great review and the kind words! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

I cannot describe the beauty of these plants. The plants arrived in pristine condition. They look just like the picture. They are doing very well in my shady area of the yard. Wilson Bros Gardens did it again. Awesome!!——————————–We are so glad you are pleased with your purchase! Thanks for the kind words and great review! Beth | WBG 🙂

Bought a couple of these, and the plants arrived in great shape. Looked lovely and delivery was prompt. My only doubt was hardiness, but that may never be tested now because the deer like them even more than I do. Obviously not the fault of the supplier, and I wouldn’t hesitate to buy again from them.——————————-Oh noooooooo!! Try Deer Away or Milorganite, But we are glad you are pleased with your purchase! Thanks for the great review! Beth | WBG 🙂

This item was received promptly and packaged very securely. I planted it as soon as it arrived and it is thriving (so far) in my garden. I am very happy with my purchase and intend on purchasing more items in the future from Wilson Bros—————————————We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks for the great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

My 3 plants arrived in DC by Fed Ex in great shape, and on time (6 days afer the “delayed delivery” date I’d chosen). My garderner said they were well-packed and healthy, not dry or crushed. I appreciated the detailed planting instructions online. I bought a Delta Fusion crepe myrtle, Bananappeal, and Gold Dust Aucuba. I found Wilson Bros. on a site that recommended online nurseries and am really happy that I chose them over Sooners in OK. I’m so glad they are here and now I hope I can keep them growing!———————————————-We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! Thanks for the great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

User friendly site; confirmation of activity prompt and correct. Delivery safely packaged and prompt. Will do business again with this company…….Highly Recommend!

I had been searching locally for a Gold Dust Aucuba for several months but they don’t seem to sell them in the Jacksonville area. I reluctantly decided to purchase one online and was very pleased when a good sized plant arrived in great shape. It’s now thriving in a planter on my 11th floor condo walkway.
