lovely low shrub with fragrant, bright 
pink flower clusters in May. Small nar- 
row leaves, attractive gray green. Pre- 
fers well-drained alkaline soil of mod- 
erate to low fertility, sun or part shade, 
light trimming in July. Daphnes are 
sometimes difficult to grow, particular- 
ly in heavy soils, and they have the re- 
putation of being short lived. Even so, 
those who know the plant consider it 
well worth trying. Transplanting is 
risky except when plants are fully dor- 
mant so we do not ship daphne later 
than April 20.
