Daphne Marianni

When it comes to attractive broadleaf evergreens, you simply can't beat Daphnes for their compact shape, gorgeous foliage, and tubular, heavily-fragranced flowers. Many Daphnes only thrive in coastal or temperate climates—but Daphne Marianni is different. This shrub is hardy in areas as chilly as Zone 6. These beautiful plants love morning sun and afternoon shade, and will reward you with year-round color. You'll adore its fresh pink flowers, notable for their delightful fragrance, and its narrow, shiny green leaves. Each leaf has a bit of variegation, with yellow margins striping the crisp green. Daphne Marianni blooms in late winter—even if it's the only thing blooming in late February or early March, Daphne Marianni is sure to delight. Daphne odora 'rogbret' PPF21820
