Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Daphne odora is easily one of the most delectably scented of all plants. Purplish-pink flower buds open to bright-white blossoms very early in spring. This exquisite 3-4' evergreen shrub is attractive all year with dark, glossy leaves margined with creamy-yellow. You must plant this where its amazing perfume can be enjoyed! It is particularly effective near a patio or deck, especially with north or east facing aspects. PSh/M/GDr
