Requires a sunny to a lightly shaded site in most soil types as long as it is well draining.
Daphnes do not like to ‘sit’ in water which encourages root rot.
Best grown in moist, fertile soils. For optimum results, lightly prune and feed in summer with a slow release fertiliser to maintain shape and vigour.
Will tolerate both slightly alkaline to acid soils making this a truly unique daphne variety for the Australian environment.
As the variety is semi-deciduous, the evergreen foliage may incur some leaf drop when subjected to very low temperatures but once the warmer weather arrives will flush with new foliage, covering any unsightliness.
Conversely it has survived temperatures of up to 40°C in trials in Australia.
