  • Description

  • Notes

Carol Mackie daphne is an evergreen to semi-evergreen shrub that reaches 2 to 3 feet tall and 3 to 4 feet wide, with a rounded, mounded habit, dense and twiggy. Oblong grey-green leaves have a creamy white to yellow margin that gives the shrub an airy quality. Pale pink to white flowers bloom in May and are have a lovely clove-like scent. Small berries appear in late summer and fall; they are poisonous to mammals. It looks great as a foundation plant, in a rock garden, or a shrub border. A well-grown 'Carol Mackie' is a beautiful shrub.
