Common Name: Daphne
These shrubs are renowned for their richly fragrant flowers. Particularly prized are those that waft their heady scent across the garden in late winter or early spring, when little else dares to bloom. There are many species, for sun or shade, so there are choices to suit most locations.
| Soil: | Well drained |
| Aspect: | Full sun/part shade |
| Max Height: | 0.5m - 0.9m |
| Extra Info: | It is best not to prune daphnes at all, as it will often result in die-back. So when buying, it’s important to choose a plant that won’t outgrow the amount of space you have available. Daphnes tend to grow slowly, so pruning is rarely necessary, except to remove damaged or dead stems. This should be done in early spring or shortly after flowering |
| Type: | Most are evergreen |
| Toxicity: | All parts of the plant are very poisonous for humans, dogs and cats. Contact with the shrub can cause severe irritation of the skin. The poison of the daphne, for example, causes redness, itching and eczema. |
