Top Daphne Varieties Available in New Zealand

There are several standout daphne varieties to consider, each with unique qualities:

Daphne odora (Winter Daphne): Known for its intensely fragrant, pink-blushed flowers, this evergreen shrub lights up late winter and early spring gardens. Its compact size makes it ideal for courtyards or by entrances, where you can enjoy its scent.
Daphne Burkwoodii (Burkwood Daphne): A semi-evergreen hybrid, this variety offers clusters of pale pink flowers and is known for its hardiness and reliability in slightly more exposed positions.
Daphne odora Cameo (Winter Daphne): A sought-after selection with soft-pink blooms and rich evergreen foliage, offering gardeners a twist on the classic daphne.
Daphne cneorum (Rose Daphne): With low-growing, mat-forming habits, this daphne bears masses of rosy-pink, highly-scented flowers in spring, perfect for rockeries and borders.
Daphne arbuscula (Rose Daphne): Known for its diminutive size and resilience, this shrub is well-suited to smaller gardens and adds year-round structure with its tidy growth.
