A perfect compact Daphne for smaller gardens, this slow growing, bushy, evergreen shrub with glossy foliage is notable for its highly fragrant flowers. In early spring its clusters of pink buds produce pretty, almost exotic looking pale pink flowers, bearing a marvellous scent, which enliven the border. Its foliage is edged with creamy yellow, awarding the plant interest even when not in flower.
