Obtained by P. ROGALSKI
Silver
Medal
at PLANTARIUM 2008
(Boskoop - Holland).
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.
