Hi all...very interesting Daphne chat....sorry Nutcutlet, can't help as know nothing bout Daphne (and most other gardening matters) but thought you might help me identify this which I inherited from my sister who doesn't know which one it is...sorry its a sideways pic..a bit new at all of this!! Just looking at it this am and notice that there are no signs of flowers....only planted it out recently and was hoping it might loose its unhealthy yellowy hue...not even sure what colour the leaves should be...would be very glad of any ideas!
I've come to the conclusion that this is D,acutiloba as advertised. There's more references on the web now and only one says it's not hardy and I think that site has been translated from another language and may be suspect. It comes from thousands of feet up a mountain, it must be hardy.
The flowers and shape are right. It's a bit short of scent but I'll see what next year brings. It's a fast grower for a daphne
the foliage looks like my jims pride which does pretty well for me-it defoliates every winter then blooms on bare wood. my carol mackie is 10 ft across by 4 high and is powerfully scented just at dusk on cool evenings.
Hi David, this one is evergreen in the coldest winters and flowers in summer.. I don't think it's going to be a top class garden plants, it's too leggy. Though everything has grown enormously here over the last year and future years might see it thicken up
I have had Jacquline postill in a pot for the past 3/4 years and it is currently about 1500mm tall and with the pot placed in a semi sheltered position it has done well. Currently in flower and quite impressive but I am moving house and it is time for the plant to be planted out. If I break the pot to avoid root disturbance can anyone advise me on what soil prep I should do prior to planting out. I am happy to do the deed anytime from now - mid feb - onwards. Help will be appreciated Ricardo
Only yesterday I have planted a Daphne in the front garden. I bought it half price from the garden centre. The thing that attracted me to it was the scent. I walked past the aisle and smelt the fragrance. So I've bought it and popped it in the front hoping people can smell the fragrance when they walk past. I forget the name but I will look on the label.
daphne is high on my wishlist, let us know which youy got jazdean, i want a small one for fragrance, we have tiny gardens, i thought i wanted 'eternal fragrance' interested o read what you thought, nut

No flowers on mine at present either Verdum.
Tangutica is very reliable summer flowerer Dove. The winter ones are fantastic but don't last for me

This has grown a lot over the last year, has white flowers is rather lanky and for a daphne is surprisingly lacking scent. I can't smell anything.
Does it ring any bells now.
I might send it to Emma tomorrow but it's notmuch of a photo is it

Hi Rosemummy. Eternal Fragrance died a branch at a time over last summer. D. tangutica goes on and on and makes babies.
