How To Grow

Excellent pest and disease resistance

Generally pest and disease free, can be affected by aphids or slugs

Water often in summer

During hot and prolonged dry periods, as well as the plant's first year, it is important to ensure that the ground is kept consistently moist. This can require watering several times a week or perhaps even daily during very hot spells. Once the plant has established itself it will become more drought tolerant but still the ground should not be allowed to dry up too much for too long.

Full sun to partial shade

Ideally, plant somewhere the plant will receive 6 hours of direct sunlight every day. Daphne will also do well in partial shade.

Fertile, well-drained soil

Mix in plenty of organic matter such as garden compost into the soil before planting and more every spring. If your soil is particularly clay-heavy and easily becomes waterlogged, add some perlite into the soil to improve drainage.

Feeding not required

This is a low maintenance plant which gets all the nutrients it needs from the soil.
