Daphne Shrub

Daphne odora, commonly known as winter daphne, is a rounded evergreen shrub celebrated for its intoxicatingly fragrant, pale-pink to white flowers that bloom in late winter. It features glossy, leathery, dark green foliage that provides year-round structure in the garden. This slow-growing shrub thrives in fertile, well-drained, slightly acidic soil and prefers partial shade, especially in warmer climates. It is ideal for borders, foundation plantings, or near entryways where its scent can be enjoyed.
