daphne odora variegata
Daphne odora variegata, also known as Daphne odora 'Aureomarginata', is a much-loved shrub in New Zealand gardens for its stunning foliage and unforgettable fragrance. This elegant evergreen features glossy green leaves edged with a creamy yellow margin that adds year-round colour to shaded borders and patio containers. As winter approaches, clusters of intensely fragrant pink flowers appear, filling the air with sweet perfume and offering a much-needed lift to the winter garden. Daphne odora variegata is prized for its compact, tidy habit, making it an excellent choice for small spaces, woodland edges, or as a focal point near entrances where its scent can be truly appreciated.
