National Plant Network's grower approved selections take the guesswork out of gardening! Brimming with serrated, dark, leathery green leaves, the Acuba Green offers a dash of tropical flair to a lackluster landscape. Don't let its looks fool you though; this cultivar is a super-hardy evergreen that produces bright red berries from fall until the following spring, followed by small, plum-colored flowers that will last until fall. They are deer, disease, drought, dry soil, heat, heavy shade, and insect-resistant. Little pruning is needed, so you can expect the Acuba to be pretty low-maintenance. Provide a well-draining soil and full to part shade for optimal results. Plant in shade gardens, rock gardens, use as a hedge for privacy in shaded areas, or add it to your favorite container!
