'Carol Mackie' is perhaps the most famous variegated daphne, celebrated for its green leaves with golden-yellow margins fading to cream. Deep-pink buds open to pale pink-white, sweetly fragrant blossoms in early spring. A rounded shrub (3–6 ft.) that's a gem in woodland borders or as a specimen. Choose a permanent site—daphnes hate being moved.
Seed in cold frame when fresh; softwood cuttings early summer, hardwood late summer. Southern blight, Verticillium wilt, rots, aphids, scale.
