Cultural Notes: Daphnes require a cool shaded position away from hot afternoon sun. Protect from frosts and also do not disturb their rootballs. They do have a bad reputation for sudden unexplainable death, but worth the effort! Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape. Do not over water to avoid root rot.
