Tom's Daphne Shrub

Characteristics of Daphne Plants

'Carol Mackie' daphnes are rounded shrubs that mature to 2'-3' tall, with a slightly greater spread. They bear fragrant, white to light pink tubular flowers in clusters; blooming time is generally in May. The flowers are succeeded by small red berries (drupes). Perhaps the outstanding feature of 'Carol Mackie' daphne plants is their variegated foliage. Despite being classified as "deciduous," I can understand why some refer to 'Carol Mackie' daphnes as "semi-evergreen": the daphne shrubs in my zone 5 garden kept their leaves throughout the winter last year; the leaves didn't become unattractive until late winter.
