Daphne odora 'Aureo-marginata'


Daphne odora 'Aureo-marginata' (Daphne odora (Daphne))

Flowering much earlier than I expected! Fragrant flowers are always welcome at this time of year though. My Heather is also about to open, the buds are swollen and pink.

Pretty,mine is
Daphne x transatlantica 'Eternal Fragrance',
do you know how could I propagate it?

Daphne x transatlantica has always been the easiest one for me to propagate during the growing season. I've had good luck with softwood, semi-hardwood and hardwood cuttings but like using cuttings from half-ripened wood in June and July. Most daphnes will root for me in 4-6 weeks and this one is usually closer to 4 if you get them early summer.

Thank you, it does look nice but seems kinda naked without the leaves! As long as it smells that nice I guess it doesn't matter how it looks though.

Some of the flowers had a little pink (I expected pink as well). Daphne flower color can be affected by temperature too. Low temp= more pink, high temp= whiter. Temps got very warm for a few weeks and it forced the daphnes to bloom so that is my best guess.
