Daphne odora ‘Aueromarginata’ | Variegated Winter Daphne
DESCRIPTION
Daphne odora 'Aureomarginata' is a slow-growing evergreen shrub prized for its fragrant flowers and variegated foliage. Its glossy, dark green leaves, edged with golden-yellow margins, create a striking contrast. In late winter to early spring, clusters of small, pale pink to white flowers with an intense, sweet fragrance emerge from the stems. Thriving in partial shade to full sun and well-drained, slightly acidic soil, this low-maintenance cultivar may need protection from harsh winter conditions. Caution is advised as all parts of the plant, especially the berries, are toxic if ingested.
