Simply gorgeous and outstanding quality! True to photograph. This is the best daphne for variegated foliage. It is rare and choice. The shipping is done splendidly, so there are no worries about plant damage during the shipping process. I plant mine in partial shade. Daphnes seem to appreciate some shade in the afternoon if you are in zone 8 or above. This is your go-to evergreen shrub for heavenly fragrance at the end of winter when nothing else is in bloom and the foliage is eye-catching all year round.

Please, plant daphnes of any variety where they can get good drainage. They don’t like wet feet at all. Err on the dry side. They are very drought tolerant once established. Once you’ve planted your daphne, don’t move it. They don’t appreciate transplanting at all. They will do just fine as long as you remember to not overwater them or move them.

Absolutely stunning daphne! True to photograph and very healthy plants. They are carefully packed with no damage possible during shipping. This is a rare and choice daphne that is very hard to find, but has the most variegation in the leaves. Daphne is your go-to evergreen for heavenly fragrance in late winter/ early spring when nothing else is in bloom. You cannot go wrong with this plant. Daphne do not like wet feet and can easily rot if overwatered. I plant mine crown-high for good drainage and provide afternoon shade. They seem to appreciate some shade in the South (zone 8 and above). Once planted, do not move your daphne. They do not like to be transplanted. With careful siting and good drainage, the plants perform very well and will provide loads of fragrant flowers that smell very sweet and lemony while the foliage is beautiful year-round.
