    An extraordinarily hardy, variegated shrub with universal appeal. Easily grown, but fickle in its long-term persistence. Plant it near an entry door or by the kitchen window where the heady fragrance of its spring flowers will be most appreciated.

    The most common daphne in the trade, by several orders of magnitude. Will grow to a good 3 or 4 foot shrub, with a bold, very showy gold variegated leaf margin. Flowers profusely in the spring, but does not rebloom. Old plants of this - and all xburkwoodii - tend to split open in an ungainly sprawl. One our customers reports that when that happens you can simply whack them back hard, and they'll reshoot and be nice and compact again for a few years.

    A variegated form of a classic daphne with narrow, 1" leaves, sage-green edged in cream. These deciduous shrubs are dense enough to create a small hedge, to about 2-3 ft tall x 4 ft wide, covered with sweetly scented, white flowers, most profusely from late winter through early spring and occasionally year round. The custardy sweet fragrance makes it a perfect plant for the entrance garden. Best in part shade, possibly with mulch to keep the roots cool, and consistent summer water. Frost hardy to -30F, USDA zone 4.
