Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Robin White's fantastic hybrid between D. petraea grandiflora and D.jasminea (serious Daphne fanatics need read no further) with foliage that resembles jasminea and pink flowers that are produced over a very long period. Despite its elite parentage, it has proven and easy and vigorous plant both in troughs and in the open garden where it has wintered with no problem. - Bob This is the smallest daphne we offer, the best choice for troughs and small rock gardens. The growth habit is low and spreading, just inches high and loves to creep around rocks. This little thing also boast the most continuous bloom of any daphne we grow. It seems like if it is above freezing, it will be in bloom. - Joseph
A dwarf evergreen shrub growing to 1ft by 2ft. A dense bushy habit with dark grey-green leaves. Redish-purple buds open to deep pink in April and again June-September.
