Daphne bholua 'Darjeeling' is a broadleaf evergreen shrub with green foliage. In spring and winter pink and white flowers emerge. Grows well with mostly shade and even moisture - regular water. Does well in acidic, rich and well-drained soil.
From a species native to eastern Himalayas, this is a particularly frost hardy cultivar, evergreen to 4' wide and up to 10' tall in the best conditions. In winter and spring deep pink buds open to sweetly scented white-tinged-pink flowers followed by drupes that ripen to black. Grow in part shade with regular summer water. They are known as paper daphnes where paper and ropes were once made from their bark. Frost hardy in USDA zones 7-10.
