A very reliable evergreen shrub that gives a fine display of deliciously scented, large rosy purple flowers in April and May, with a second flush throughout the summer. Good glossy green foliage and dense habit, broader than it is high.

Daphne is a captivating and diverse genus that is prized more than anything for the exquisite and unforgettable fragrance of its beautiful flowers. As many are repeat-flowering, a small collection of daphnes will provide you with a succession of flowers and scent throughout the year.

Cultivation: There are two main criteria that are essential to the successful cultivation of daphnes in the garden: careful watering in their early years and a sharply-drained, well-aerated soil which is moisture retentive. Most daphnes are happy in alkaline, neutral or slightly acid soils. Best in sunny, well-drained situations and avoid areas of very high rainfall.

Please ensure that you have the correct cultural requirements for this plant and be aware that daphnes are not suitable for patio pots.
