Overview

Evergreen, medium-sized shrub. Highly fragrant with dark purplish-pink and pale pink flowers in late winter, followed by black berries. It makes a tall slender plant that can be lightly pruned to shape in late spring and staked as it matures. Very similar to and a good substitute for Daphne bholua ‘Jacqueline Postill’.

    Good quality plants, well packaged for delivery. I have purchased from them before. There was a day's delay in the most recent delivery. It would be good to have messages giving despatch and delivery information.
