Daphne Pink Fragrance

A compact, wonderfully scented, hybrid daphne cultivar, Daphne x transatlantica Pink Fragrance is a small, semi-evergreen shrub with a rounded habit, ideal for the small garden or for growing in a container. The small, lance-shaped leaves are a good mid-green. From April to September and sometimes into October, richly and deliciously scented pale pink flowers emerge from deep pink buds; as flowers are borne on new season’s wood, they keep going as long as the shrub is growing. Plant daphne Pink Fragrance where you sit outdoors, or by a window, to enjoy its scent, but choose the site carefully; once a daphne is out of its pot, it must never be moved again.
