It took a white for me to appreciate aucuba because, when I was en high school, we had two gold dust aucubas (a. japonica 'Variegata') that always looked as if they werw on their last legs outside our front door. I later discovered that this shrub thrives in the shade or in full sun, but it needs well-drained soil(our wilted shrubs were planted in solid clayno wonder they looked so bad.)
