Top Tips

Daphnes are best planted near paths and doorways or at the front of borders where their delicious fragrance can be enjoyed.

Care Information

Plants will thrive in sun or part-shade with well-drained soil. They don't like dry roots, so water regularly and deeply.
Daphne will establish best if planted when the soil is warm between March and October.
Dig a hole twice the width of the rootball. Sprinkle in a handful of blood, fish and bone and work into the ground.
If your soil is heavy add plenty of well rotted compost to the area and dig it in well. Horticultural sand/grit added to the mix is also beneficial, especially if you have heavy clay.
Place the plant into the hole, back-filling so that it is at the same depth as was in the pot. Fill around the root ball and firm the soil down gently but firmly. Water well.
Where necessary after flowering, lightly trim to remove misplaced branches and maintain a compact habit, otherwise a quick clear-up of fallen leaves will suffice.
