With two, long flowering periods from March to June then August to September, Daphne ‘Sweetheart’ has been proclaimed as a ‘game changer’ which offers more flowers and more fragrance for your containers, borders and woodland edges. Blooms also offer intensely pink colour against a backdrop of rich, dark green leaves for stunning contrast. Fitting neatly onto a balcony or into a small courtyard – with a height of 60cm and a spread of 45cm - those of us with limited planting space can now also enjoy the most fragrant shrub there is and drink in its deep, floral perfume in our own homes. We strongly recommend you locate this beauty where you can both smell and see it, for optimum impact and if you are looking for a thoughtful gift – look no further. Daphne ‘Sweetheart’ prefers moist, well-drained soil of any kind. Plant in a spot which enjoys full sun or partial shade with any aspect other than north facing. A hardy (H4), evergreen shrub which should not need additional winter protection throughout most of the UK.
