Evergreen and rounded, it offers lovely year-round color for partial shade.

This Japanese selection is vigorous and well-branched.
Among the loveliest of Winter Daphnes, 'Zuiko Nishiki' demonstrates terrific vigor and a well-branched, upright habit in addition to its heavenly fragrance and heavy late-winter bloom. Ideal for the partly shaded border, foundation, and even as a specimen, it is an extraordinary presence during the bleak winter months, as well as a source of evergreen color year-round.

Dark rosy-pink buds arise early in winter, offering their own beauty against the long, glossy deep green leaves. They burst into pink-and-white blooms, releasing a fantastically sweet, rich scent that lingers delightfully in the shade garden. Who would imagine that one of the most aromatic seasons could be late winter?!

'Zuiko Nishiki' reaches 3 to 4 feet high and wide, nicely rounded and well-branched, with a more upright, less sprawling habit than many other Daphne. It thrives in rich, well-drained soil. It is a must-have for gardens in the south and Pacific northwest, as well as any other climate where the winters are mild.

This Japanese cultivar combines beautifully with Itea, and makes a nice backdrop to Helleborus. Find a place of honor for it in your shade garden this season. Zones 7-9.
