Carol Mackie daphne
Daphne x burkwoodii 'Carol Mackie'
Carol Mackie daphne is a trim, aristocratic shrub with whorls of nearly evergreen, cream-edged foliage. It produces a heavy display of very fragrant, pale pink flowers in spring — and sometimes again in the fall. It is an adaptable and quick growing shrub.
Tips from the pros: Little maintenance required. Tolerant of alkaline soils. Does not respond well to heavy fertilization. Grows best in partial sun with some protection from hot western sun and high winds.
