A fabulous pair of exciting and unusual new arrivals for 2024. Shrubs in the ‘Delicious Daphne Collection’ offer dainty four-petalled flowers which emerge successionally from January to May, filling your garden with incredible perfume alongside the rich, dark foliage. The sugary shades of pink and white bring a romantic vibe to your planting and stems can be cut for a vase inside your home to spread their uplifting scent even further. Daphne are a fantastic food source for pollinators and plants are happy in pots or open ground. We strongly recommend that you locate them where they are both smelt and seen for optimum impact.
‘Delicious Daphne Duo’ comprises x transatlantica ‘Perfume Princess’ with pink and white flowers from February to May, H: 1.5m S: 1m; and ‘Perfume Princess White’ with white blooms from January to April, H: 1.5m S: 1m.
Both prefer moist, well-drained soil of any kind and like a spot in full sun or partial shade with any aspect other than north facing. Hardy (H4), evergreen shrubs which should not need additional winter protection throughout most of the UK.
