The white buds open all down the stem – giving you even more fragrance.
Daphne are tidy, evergreen bushes. The gorgeous flowers open from winter to spring. Their lovely scent wafts through your garden, and when picked will fill your home with perfume.
Daphne like morning sun, and almost anywhere that has shade from the hot afternoon sun – though Daphne ‘Perfume Princess White’ is quite forgiving.
