The evergreen foliage of MARIANNI
®, our Daphne selection, is very widely edged
in light yellow, more intensely than the traditional 'Aureomarginata' variety.
The shrub attracts attention by the luminosity of its variegation, in contrast
to its dark green shade.
Its shape is rounded and bushy, its growth rate medium.
Height:
1.20 m to 1.50 m Width: 1.20 m to 1.50 m
In February and March bouquets of
small very perfumed flowers appear on the extremities of the branches; they are
purple pink on the outside of the petals, light pink on the inside. The flowering
period is long.
Uses:
MARIANNI
® can be planted in normal lime free soil, in preference cool and acid,
in sunny to half shade position. Its remarkable evergreen variegation and its
long and intensely perfumed flowering will be much appreciated.
No pruning
is necessary.
