Daphne X Burkwoodii Briggs Moonlight Burkwood Daphne

​Daphne × burkwoodii 'Briggs Moonlight' is a semi-evergreen shrub renowned for its striking variegated foliage and fragrant blossoms. Its leaves feature luminous, creamy-ivory centers bordered by narrow green margins, creating a reverse variegation effect compared to the 'Carol Mackie' cultivar. In spring, this shrub produces clusters of pale pink, sweetly scented flowers that enhance its ornamental appeal. With a dense, rounded growth habit, 'Briggs Moonlight' reaches a height and width of approximately 3 to 4 feet, making it an excellent choice for borders, specimen plantings, or container cultivation. Discovered at Briggs Nursery in Washington State, this cultivar thrives in partial shade and prefers well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soils.
