Winter Daphne 
(Daphne Mezereum) 
Here is a shrub that blooms with the earliest of early spring 
flowers. Snowdrops or Winter Aconites, and other early spring 
bulbs are not ahead of Winter Daphne in blooming season. Often 
indeed it blooms in February and for that reason is sometimes 
called by some nurseries February Daphne. In most northern 
states it can be expected to flower in early March. 
Fragrance! That is the charming part of all Daphnes, and Win- 
ter Daphne, like the rest of the family, has a delightful, and 
slightly spicy odor. The blooms occur in 
beautiful clusters along the stem as shown 
in the picture, and are a de- 
lichtful rosy shade in color.
