Daphne genkwa
The Blooms Appear Before the Foliage in Spring!
Discovered in its native China by the great Victorian plant hunter Charles Maries, Daphne genkwa is a naturally compact, very free-flowering deciduous shrub. It reaches just 3 feet high and wide, with a symmetrical, rounded shape and excellent branching. In addition to the showy flowers, the 3-inch leaves are handsome, particularly when they first open in spring with a silky texture that is quite eye-catching.
This shrub is content in full sun to light shade, and appreciates warm summer climates. It needs good drainage, but is otherwise easy to grow. Lilac Daphne is a rare treat, and one you will adore in your garden. Zones 5-9.
