daphne hedge
A daphne hedge is a truly enchanting addition to any New Zealand garden, providing lush evergreen foliage and intoxicatingly fragrant blooms throughout the year. If you’re searching for a hedge that combines elegant appearance with delightful scent, daphne hedges deliver an unmatched appeal. Their compact growth habit and glossy leaves make daphnes ideal for hedging, accent borders, or creating a perfumed walkway. With a variety of species and cultivars available, you can tailor your daphne hedge to align with your garden's style and enjoy colour and fragrance in every season.
Ligustrum Rotundifolium (Ligustrum japonicum)
Ligustrum japonicum Rotundifolium, commonly known as Japanese Privet, grows as a small, compact, rounded bush and carries glossy, dark green leaves which have a unique curl. Clusters of cream-coloured flowers are borne in summer and are a lovely feature as it grows to 1.5 m tall and 1 m wide. Ligustrum Rotundifolium is often clipped into hedge, added to a mixed planting, maintained in a container, or used to provide architectural interest.
Daphne Perfume Princess (Perfume Princess Daphne)
Daphne Perfume Princess produces masses of highly fragrant, blush-pink flowers from mid-winter through spring. It grows with a rounded shape and carries leathery, glossy, dark green leaves as it grows to 1 m tall and the same wide. Daphne Perfume Princess is commonly planted around outdoor living areas such as pools and the like, included in mixed and border plantings, maintained in a container, added to cottage gardens, or planted close to a window or door so the fragrance can fill the house.
