How To Plant Variegated Winter Daphne
Our Variegated Winter Daphne grow at a slow rate and can be expected to live for about twenty years. They prefer to be grown in dry to average moisture levels, but they don't like to be sitting in water for very long, so very-well draining soils are best. Sheltered locations are their cup-of-tea and they are somewhat tolerant of urban pollution. Winter can be harsh, so applying a thick mulch around the root zone to protect it from exposed locations and colder microclimates is the way to go. These shrubs are rather fussy as they require light shade and never should be moved once planted and established.
How To Water
Variegated Winter Daphne like to have a regulated weekly watering schedule, but may need to be watered more often in extreme heat.
How To Fertilize
Incorporate Elements Starter Plant Food granular form into the soil when planting. If planting in spring or summer, start fertilizing late fall using Elements Starter Plant food granular form on an annual basis each late fall. If planting in the fall, use Elements fertilizer while planting and start your regular annual fertilizing the following fall. Continue this for the first three years to get your plant well established as it gives your tree the nutrients it needs to produce lush new growth for the following spring.
How To Prune
Variegated Winter Daphne require no pruning to maintain its loose and mounding shape.

Bower & Branch allows our Growers to make final shipping decisions based solely to benefit your trees and plants’ health and success.
How Does Sizing Work?
The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)
Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.
All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
