Description
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.
Also known as Wikstroemia gemmata.
