Daphne

A fine deciduous daphne of considerable beauty that cloaks itself with abundant lavender-purple blossoms each spring. Flowers lack fragrance but make up for it with a vivid display that is somewhat reminiscent of lilacs. This particular clone was raised by Don Hackenberry from seed initially obtained from the wilds of China by the Beijing Botanic Garden. 5' Learn More

Yet another awesome daphne species with a lot going for it. This upright evergreen form showcases impeccable lance-shaped, waxy green foliage that provides the perfect foil for a succession of warmly fragrant, pale pink, star-shaped flowers. The heaviest bloom occurs in spring with a spattering of flowers throughout the remainder of the growing season. Flowers are followed by pea-sized orange fruit which add a new ornamental dimension seen with few other species in the group. 4' Learn More

A true wow plant sporting showy creamy-white leaves edged with narrow emerald margins. As if this wasn’t enough, masses of sweetly fragrant, pale pink flowers accentuate the plant in late spring and early summer. Quite a distinctive plant and one that every variegated plant nut drools over. Unfortunately, plants have proven to be challenging to grow (we’ve killed it 3 times here at the nursery). That said, it’s one of those plants that merits repeated efforts. We’ve got a few plants for those wishing to try. 2’ x 2’ Learn More
