Daphne mezereum f.alba

Hey Daphne, you’re looking mighty fine right now. And you smell pretty hot too.  If I had my way, I’d make sure you were always around mine, waiting to greet me when I got home.

Daphne bholua

I’d plant you where I could see you, right by my door, and I’d make sure your soil never dried out, because I know how you hate that. And you’d seal the deal by smelling sweet just at a time when I was feeling down. That’s true love for you.

    My neighbour has a Daphne, I nearly fell over when I first caught its perfume…thought I had died and gone to heaven! She gave me a peice which sat in a vase on my dressing room table for two weeks, it was just wonderful. I will be treating myself to a Daphne this year. Ronnie

    I have 4 daphne. 2 look great and two are struggling. One of them has yellowing leaves that are dropping off. None of them bloomed this year? Could you help?
