Overview

Winter Daphne (Daphne odora) is an evergreen shrub renowned for its intoxicating fragrance. It thrives in partial shade and well-drained soils, reaching 3-4 feet in height and spread. Glossy, green leaves set the stage for clusters of purple-tinged, white flowers that bloom in late winter to early spring. Ideal for borders or as a specimen plant, it requires minimal pruning and offers a low-maintenance, sensory addition to any garden.
