Daphne odora Aureomarginata - Fragrant Winter-Flowering Shrub

Daphne odora ‘Aureomarginata’ is a fragrant flowering shrub with an exceptional scent and elegant evergreen presence. British grown, this winter to early spring flowering variety bears pale pink to white flowers from purplish-pink buds, bringing colour and perfume at a time when the garden is often at its quietest. Its variegated foliage, with green leaves edged in cream, provides lasting interest throughout the year.

With its compact, slow-growing habit, this Daphne suits smaller garden spaces and large pots, and it works particularly well near a doorway or along a path where the fragrance can be appreciated. It is also presented as a gift choice for gardeners who value scented plants. Container options include a standard nursery pot or a metal zinc planter.
