Flowering now in the garden is Daphne odora ‘Wild Winter’. This patterned leaf form was named and introduced by NC Nurseryman, Jason Stevens. The flowers are the same, super fragrant type of typical Daphne odora, which hails from Southern China, Vietnam, and Taiwan. In cultivation, good drainage is the key to success.
how much sun can this handle? I can look it up in Elizabeth Lawrence (& probably Kim Tripp’s A Year in Trees), but I’m being lazy. thx!
Based on our experience, it seems fine with 2-4 hours of full sun in our climate.
