Daphne retusa (Tangut Daphne) - 2 Gallon Pot
Daphne retusa, also scientifically known as Daphne tangutica, or commonly known as Oblong-Leaf Daphne or Tangut Daphne, is an evergreen flowering shrub adored for its abundant and wonderfully fragrant flowers that come heavy in spring and then sporadically throughout the rest of the season. The two-toned flowers, purple on the outside and crystaline white on the inside, exude an intoxicating aroma. Unlike the flowers of its cousin, Daphne odora (Winter Daphne), which have a lemon-vanilla fragrance, the fragrance of Daphne retusa somewhat like a soft Indian incense - very alluring. The flowers are often followed by attractive red berries later in the season. Leathery, oblong, dark green leaves on a dense mound 2 to 3 feet tall and maybe a little wider give this superstar of a shrub a sense of solidity and serve as an excellent background for the flowers. Daphne retusa is ideal for dry shade. That said, folks in cooler climates say it will tolerate all-day sun. Here in the South, we have several growing in a shady woodland site in our gardens.
