In the past I have tried to grow the beautifully scented daphne with no success. The plant, usually purchased from a nursery, would grow for a season, showed no sign of flowering and then withered.
In the past couple of years I have bought a couple of pots of daphne from my garden club sales table. They did not cost very much, so I decided to give the plant another try. As is seen in the picture, one of the little plants, planted in a sheltered spot with morning sun, is flowering. Some of the leaves are yellowing, so I might have to look at adding some minerals to the soil. I hope this plant will grow to a large bush to provide scented flowers for the house in winter.
