A very unique and attractive compact shrub to 4-6', with its long (up to 7") lance shaped leaves which are so speckled with gold that they are almost more gold than green, this is the perfect easy-care shrub to brighten up that shady corner; a female cultivar which produce wonderful bright shiny-red fruits if planted near a male.
