I got this in 2013 and wasn't sure it would survive long since 'Brigg's Moonlight' seems to die so easily. It's growing slow and still hasn't flowered but I love the foliage and am grateful that it is still alive. I have taken cuttings but they root a lot slower than other Daphnes.

It was just released a couple years ago, if you're looking for one I know a lot of mail order nurseries sell it. It's a beautiful plant, especially after a few seasons when it gets some size to it. I agree about the foliage, I've heard this variety doesn't flower as freely as most Daphnes but I didn't want it for the flowers, they're just a nice bonus.

You have some nice Daphne collection, Rkwright. I have only winter daphne and was able to propagate couple more plants from it. I hope that this will show up here on the Island one day. It is on my list to watch for.

The foliage is interesting enough and the plant looks wonderful without the flowers. I love it. I put it in my favorites for future reference.
