A lovely compact species which is perfect for container and patio planting.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Top Tip
Daphne prefers a sheltered spot, away from harsh winds, to protect its delicate flowers and leaves.
How to Water
Water Daphne deeply but infrequently, ensuring the soil is moist but not soggy. Avoid overhead watering to prevent diseases. Water at the base of the plant to keep the foliage dry.
How to Plant
Plant Daphne in well-drained, slightly acidic soil with plenty of sunlight or partial shade. Dig a hole that is slightly larger than the root ball, place the plant, and backfill with soil. Water well and mulch to maintain moisture.
