Product description
Aucuba Rozannie is a bushy evergreen shrub which, throughout its gorgeous appearance, has leathery leaves of green colour that remain present throughout the year. Alongside that are gorgeous red berries which appear in Summer and Autumn to brighten up the garden. Purple flowering is another visually pleasing aspect of the shrub, with those showing up in Spring to add a pop of bold colour. Aucubas should be planted in moist, well-drained soil and kept in full sun at the best of times. Waterlogged soil will see the shrub struggle to thrive well, so avoid this at all costs. Watering can take place once a week until the plant is established but, after some time, it will survive periods of drought.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.
