Unlike many Aucuba varieties, 'Rozannie' is self-fertile, meaning it can produce vibrant red berries in autumn and winter without requiring a separate male pollinator nearby. This makes it an excellent low-maintenance choice for adding year-round structure and seasonal interest to borders, containers, and shaded corners of the garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eA recipient of the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit (AGM), 'Rozannie' is recognised for its outstanding garden performance. It thrives in conditions where many other shrubs struggle, tolerating deep shade, dry shade, pollution, and coastal exposure with ease. Its neat, naturally compact habit means minimal pruning is required, making it ideal for gardeners seeking a fuss-free, architectural plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelf-fertile variety – produces bright red berries without a separate pollinator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eGlossy, deep green evergreen foliage providing year-round interest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eCompact growth habit, well suited to smaller gardens and containers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eExceptionally shade tolerant – thrives in full shade to partial shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eTolerant of pollution, dry shade, and coastal conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eRHS Award of Garden Merit (AGM) holder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eSupplied as an established plant in a 3 litre pot, ready for outdoor planting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting and Care:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant in a sheltered or exposed position in most soil types, provided the soil is reasonably moist and well-drained. Aucuba 'Rozannie' performs best in partial to full shade but will tolerate some sun if the soil remains moist. Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish a strong root system. Once established, this shrub is drought tolerant and requires very little ongoing care. Light pruning can be carried out in spring if needed to maintain shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCultural Information:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aucuba japonica 'Rozannie'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Names:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japanese Laurel, Aucuba\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClassification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Evergreen Shrub\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFully Grown Height and Spread:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 1m × 1m\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compact, Bushy, Rounded Evergreen Shrub\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shaded Borders, Containers, Woodland Gardens, North-Facing Walls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowering Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spring (small purple flowers)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBerrying Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Autumn to Winter (bright red berries)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Position:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full Shade to Partial Shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Most Well-Drained Soils Including Clay, Chalk and Sandy Soils\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fully Hardy (RHS H5)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAttracts:\u003c\/strong\u003e Birds and Garden Wildlife\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardy Evergreen Shrub\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Glossy, Deep Green, Leathery Leaves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePollination:\u003c\/strong\u003e Self-Fertile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes:\u003c\/strong\u003e This listing is for the Rozannie variety of Aucuba japonica, known for its compact habit and self-fertile nature.
