    Has broader yellow margins than D. odora 'Aureomarginata'. This is a handsome variegated plant that also has the typical D. odora flowers of purple and white with that superb fragrance.

    With foliage strikingly edged in cream and gold AND wonderfully fragrant pink flowers, this compact 3-4' x 3-4' shrub will be a garden treat all season. S-PSh/M/GDr (not dry)

    Mae-Jima' is an extra variegated version of Daphne ordora 'Aureomarginata' with much broader yellow margins. It blooms in February and March with purple-pink buds opening to white, lusciously fragrant flowers. Plant in part sun/part shade with morning or late afternoon sun (protect it from the hottest sun of the day) in rich, well-drained soil. Winter daphne should offer just the lift you need to get you through the end of winter and into the excitement of spring. Do not move after planting due to sensitive roots.
