Daphne cneorum

Daphne cneorum Details

Daphne cneorum, commonly known as Garland Daphne, Rock or Rose Daphne, is a small, spreading shrub grown for its fragrant, rose-pink flowers in spring. This plant produces masses of flowers that literally transforms its appearance. They are held above the small, mid-green leaves. It grows compactly to about 40 cm tall and 60 cm wide, growing best in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained site. It is hardy to cold environments and frosts once established. Daphne cneorum is commonly included in rock and cottage gardens, maintained in a container, or planted close to a window or door so the fragrance can fill the house.
