Zuiko Nishiki' is a Japanese selection of Daphne odora with lush green foliage and a vigorous nature. It may also be hardier than the species. The buds are vibrant, deep pink and open to pale pink or white flowers. The fragrance is ravishing - a mix of intoxicating citrus, sweetness and baby powder.
This Japanese variety has deep pink buds that open to a lighter tone and give off the wonderful Daphne fragrance to the surrounding area. Bring some indoors!
