Aucuba japonica Tatsumaki Sun Perennials In the 1900s
Yard notes & kiln story
Description
In the 1900s
soon evolving into a 20" ladder of green
deer-resistant lady fern was the pride and joy of the Victorian fern craze
but often overlooked
then the edge becomes evident quickly thereafter
Aucuba japonica Tatsumaki Sun Perennials In the 1900sAucuba japonica 'Tatsumaki' is the Quasimodo of the aucuba world. This odd Japanese selection is adorned with 6" long x 2" wide glossy, dark green leaves that are slightly twisted and mildly contorted. We have found the male flowered Aucuba 'Tatsumaki' to be among the slower growing aucubas we've trialed, forming a 3' tall specimen in seven years.
