Daphne ‘Perfume Princess’

The longest blooming daphne yet, with large clusters of fragrant flowers from mid- to late winter and well into spring. Better heat and sun tolerance than other winter-blooming daphnes.

Daphne Odora x Bholua, or Perfume Princess, is a stunning evergreen perennial shrub adorned by clusters of pink and white, deliciously fragranced flowers from mid-winter through spring. The perfume princess range is known for its strong Daphne fragrance: floral with soft citrus undertones. The foliage is a rich emerald green with a glossy, lush texture and is ideal for adding contrast to any garden design as a border/hedge, feature, mass planting or as a potted specimen. Good drainage is an important factor for daphne success as it is prone to root rot.

Soil: Humus-rich soil with good drainage. If the soil isn’t well drained, it is best to build a mound of well-drained soil above the existing soil level.
Conditions: Dappled shade. Moderately frost hardy once established.
Size: Height 1m x width 1m
