Daphne Perfume Princess. \nA new variety of Daphne that is taking the gardening world by storm. \nForms a medium sized shrub with an attractive rounded habit and dark green, lustrous evergreen foliage. \nBred in New Zealand by Mark Jury, Daphne Perfume Princess has been described as The World’s Most Fragrant Shrub. \nEarlier and longer flowering than any of its contemporaries this great new hybrid covers itself with a profusion of blooms from mid-winter until late spring. \nThese flowers are larger than other Daphne varieties and appear not only at the tip of each branch but also in clusters in the leaf axils along the entire stem. \nOpening mid-pink and fading to white the blooms have a blissful, unmistakable Daphne fragrance and in full bloom not only are they pretty to look at they also fill the surrounding area with their heady scent. \nExtremely useful as a cut flower and one stem in a vase will fill an entire room with perfume. \nSaid to be the perfect shrub to grow in your garden, a great choice for a partially shaded border or a woodland garden but equally suitable for providing year round interest as a specimen plant and adaptable enough to succeed in pots and containers. \nWinter hardy in the British Isles and easy to grow in any moderately fertile, well drained, humus rich soil in full sun or partial shade. \nGiven time Daphne Perfume Princess will eventually reach a height and spread of 1.5m x 1.5m. \nExperts in the trade are so taken by this newcomer that in 2016 it was awarded the prestigious honour of “Plant of the Year” by the Australian Nursery and Garden Industry Association and in 2018 it was awarded a Gold Medal at Belgium’s Florall Awards, also in June 2018 Horticulture Week the UK’s leading horticulture publication awarded it “Best New Ornamental Plant Variety”. \nHigh praise indeed. \n All pictures used are of mature plants in full bloom and may not necessarily reflect plants at all times of the year. \nOur Daphne Perfume Princess plants are supplied ex. 10cm pots and do best when grown on in a slightly lager container for a short time before transplanting to their final growing positions. \nTake a look at what GARDEN GURU'S had to say about this amazing plant. \nView suggestions for COMPANION PLANTING with your new shrub via this . \nPACK 1 PLANT \nIMMEDIATE \n \nWe ask all our buyers to remember Daphne are living plants and their appearance changes with the seasons.  Please don’t panic if the plant you receive looks different to the image on the website. This is quite normal and not a matter for any worry or concern, it is likely to be in perfect condition for the time of year and just enjoying a well-earned rest before bursting into action for the new season. Particularly in autumn and winter many shrubs will lose their leaves and look rather bare, gaunt and stick-like and from August onwards many perennial plants may not even be showing above the soil.\n\nWe want you to be happy with your purchase and all our items are checked and inspected visually before packing. at . .
