Very pretty like the edging on the leaves as well as the flowers

Me too, the variegation is subtle and not all that noticeable from a difference but it looks great up close. When the flowers first open they are very bright pink (most of these had only been open a day or less) and then fade to dull pink. It is an excellent daphne, it has really flowered well and the nursery I got it from thinks it has greater resistance to root rot disease that usually cause daphne death. It has been an excellent grower too, both my Stasek daphnes are a little over a year old and are already a nice size. I've had tons of success propagating it too, almost 100% success with cuttings and at least 12 small plants I can put in the ground! It's definitely a daphne I want to keep around.

Well done sounds great.
By the way I do still have the second lot of Daphne cuttings with leaves on in the propagator

That is great, I hope you are able to get some rooted! I have been working on getting more daphne cuttings, I have been having a harder time getting good cuttings but I did get a couple Daphne circassica to root.

Thank you, Daphne 'Stasek' is a fantastic plant and one of the easiest daphnes to grow. I can't wait to see them this Spring, they are absolutely loaded with flower buds.
