Aucuba japonica ‘Lisa White’

Given to us by Atlanta plantsman, Ozzie Johnson, and named for, well, Lisa, with 4-5′” vibrantly speckled leaves on a compact shrub, a great addition to a shady garden with very pale fruit from autumn through winter on this female plant. Evergreen. Hardy to USDA zone 7, if not 6. Shade to dappled sun. Extra summer water to push new growth in dry climates.
