    I'm surprised at the negative comments in this thread re Daphne x transatlantica 'Eternal Fragrance'® BlaFra. [...] I am not finding it a "dull" plant at all.

    See original post

     Well, a year later, I'm afraid I'll have to join the chorus of those forum members who re-named that plant as "Eternal disappointment". My specimen has given me no flowers at all since last Spring, At the moment it is only displaying some new foliage.image

    Hi there,

    My Daphne x transatlantica 'Eternal Fragrance' must have been reading this forum discussion.image In reaction to my (and others') disparaging comments and just to prove me wrong it has recently grown more foliage and an abundant crop of flowers.

    Hi all,

    At the moment my daphne 'eternal fragrance' is splendid, at 90 cm in diameter and 70 cm high. Lovely scent too. I love this plant!

    Thanks @Papi Jo for pointing me toward this thread. As they were a gift, I didn't choose my 'Eternal Fragrance' plants, but I hope I can at least get a few years out of them. They look pretty healthy at the moment 🤞
