DAPHNE - Deciduous and evergreen shrubs, often with scented flowers. They have a reputation for being difficult to grow which does apply to some varieties. They may survive a  few years and for no apparent reason give up and die. They grow well in moist drained loam soils and dislike root disturbance. Caution toxic if eaten. We sometimes have stocks other varieties so it is always worth asking. SH  We occasionally have other varieties so please always ask.
