Notes
'Carol Mackie' daphne (Daphne burkwoodii 'Carol Mackie') is a shrub for borders. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes part sun or part shade and average to moist soil of most types. Pale pink, fragrant flowers open in early to late spring. It sits low on the menu for deer. Give it a spot near a path so you can enjoy the scent.
Pairs well with Liverleaf, Queen of Sweden rose, and Gladiator ornamental onion.
