Daphnes have a well deserved reputation as fussy plants. Even under ideal conditions they will sometimes thrive for a few seasons and then wither away for no apparent reason. Daphne caucasica seems to be much easier and is the species that most people have the best chance of success with. In our area a position out of intense afternoon sun in average to rich soil is best. It has fine, gray green foliage and a rounded, mounding habit. The small white flowers are highly fragrant and bloom sporadically throughout the summer.

In the fall the foliage turns a deep burgundy red. Gold Medal Award Winner.
