untouched by late spring frosts

the deer-resistant clump is adorned with dark blue hummingbird feeding flowers

although flower buds were killed when winter temperatures dropped below 5 degrees F

Aucuba japonica Shilpot Amaryllids though it would be bestAucuba japonica 'Shilpot', sold under the illegally used tradename, Pepper Pot, has been one of our favorites since we first grew it in 2005. Aucuba 'Shilpot' is a slow growing male clone with glossy green foliage, heavily spotted with tiny yellow spots. For us, our dwarf 8 year old specimens are only 3' tall, so we're guessing it will eventually make 3. 5' tall. Aucuba japonica 'Shilpot' makes a really unique, lovely specimen in the woodland garden.
