The Burkwood Daphnes came from a cross between D. cneorum and D. caucasica. A sport from Daphne x burkwoodii 'Carol Mackie', D. 'Brigg's Moonlight' was found amidst a multitude of cuttings at Briggs Wholesale Nursery in Olympia, Washington.

Some sources list it hardy to zone 5- and even 4.

As a foliage plant, 'Brigg's Moonlight' is wonderful. It has the reverse variegation to 'Carol Mackie'; the margins are green while the centre of the leaf is cream. With the pink flowers, stunning. The problem is, the plant is tempermental. It is not nearly as hardy as the other cultivars of Burkwood Daphne (zone 5 for others, zone 7 to be safe with 'Brigg's Moonlight').
