They don't like dry roots, so water regularly and deeply.- Daphne will establish best if planted in the spring when the soil is warm March/April and Sept/Oct.- Dig a hole twice the width of the rootball. Sprinkle in a handful of blood, fish and bone and work into the ground.- If your soil is heavy, add plenty of well-rotted compost to the area and dig it in well. Horticultural sand/grit added to the mix is also beneficial.- Place the plant into the hole, backfilling so that it is at the same depth as was in the pot. Fill around the rootball and firm the soil down gently but firmly.- Water well.- Grafted plants should be planted with the join a couple of centimetres below the soil level.- Where necessary after flowering, lightly trim to remove misplaced branches and maintain a compact habit; otherwise, a quick clear-up of fallen leaves will suffice.Planting Time:All yearFlowering Time:April - OctoberAbout You GardenEstablished for over 50 years, our award winning trusted plant supplier are based in South Lincolnshire.

This hardy evergreen shrub makes a superb specimen plant for brightening your winter garden. The strongly scented, pale pink flowers brave the coldest winter months to provide a fantastic, fragrant display that lasts well into spring.
Daphne are prized for their amazing winter scent and their pink flowers that open from late February to April, filling the garden with early perfume and colour. This selection called Aureomarginata also have lovely gold-edges contrasting deep green leaves, providing colour interest all year round. Grow them in big pots, or deep, fertile soils. They are a slow growing evergreen shrub, which will only reach 1.5M tall in 10 years or so. They need little pruning or maintenance. Our stock is almost 3 years old, and is well-rooted and branched, at about 20-25cm tall. Daphne are very difficult to propagate from, and slow growing to start, so are often very expensive but we have managed to secure a very good deal with this specialist grower, and pass on these great savings! Supplied as an established plant in a 9cm pot, ready to plant.
A new introduction for 2019, Daphne x transatlantica 'Summer Ice' is set to become a favourite with gardeners. Not yet widely available, we've managed to secure some stock of this exquisite variegated gem for the new gardening season. 'Summer Ice' is notable for its blue-green leaves edged with clear ivory giving it a frosted look - something rather special in Daphnes. These form a delicate crown, topped with soft pink-flushed, fragrant blooms - the plant's pièce de résistance! Be prepared to be intoxicated by the provocative perfume which will pervade your garden as soon as the flowers open in spring - and plants may repeat bloom right up to the autumn! Daphnes grow into a mound of neat leaves, and 'Summer Ice' is no exception - keeping its leaves in mild winters, it's classed as semi-evergreen, providing a good backdrop of colour in your garden. Really easy to grow in rich, moist soil in sun or light shade, plants look fabulous too in pots and containers, and have the advantage that you can move them around your garden so that you can appreciate their fragrance wherever you are - we think that a pair either side of your front door make a unique and eye-catching (and nose-catching!) feature. Supplied as an established plant in a 9cm pot, ready for planting out and reaching an ultimate height and spread of 1m x 1m (3ft x 3ft).
