Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Small but well rooted plants of this wonderful plant. Our mature 20 year old plants are 2'x 2' domes. The green leaves are a great back drop to the snow white very fragrant flowers in February.
Similar to Marginata but with all green leaves and striking pure white flowers and that wonderful Daphne fragrance
A fabulous form much in demand for its wonderfully fragrant creamy white flowers that adorn the dark glossy green foliage. A good container plant that does well in the shade.
