Notes
'Aureomarginata' winter daphne (Daphne odora 'Aureomarginata') is a shrub for borders, containers, specimen planting, and winter interest. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes full sun to part shade and dry to moist soil of most types. The dense, evergreen shrub has fragrant reddish-purple flowers that attract butterflies and bees. It sits low on the menu for deer. Give it a spot near a path so you can enjoy the scent.
Pairs well with Mondo grass, Amsonia, and Beautyberry.
