Raukaua laetevirens, commonly known as Sauco Del Diablo, is an evergreen shrub native to the understory of temperate forests in Chile. It typically grows to a height of 15-20 feet (4.5-6 meters) and a width of 6-9 feet (1.8-2.7 meters). This plant features glossy, dark green leaves and small, inconspicuous greenish-white flowers that bloom in the spring. While the flowers are not particularly showy, they can add a subtle charm to garden settings. The shrub may also produce small, black berries that are attractive to birds.

Sauco Del Diablo is valued for its lush, evergreen foliage, which makes it an excellent choice for creating year-round interest in gardens. It is often used for screening, as a background plant in borders, or as part of a mixed shrubbery. This shrub thrives in part shade, preferring medium amounts of water and well-drained soil. It is relatively low-maintenance, but gardeners should be aware that it can be susceptible to root rot if planted in poorly drained soils.CC BY-SA 4.0
