| Bloom Time | Spring, often repeating in fall. |
| Deciduous/Evergreen | Semi-Evergreen |

| Design Ideas | Ideally sized shrub for a wide range of applications. Perfectly tailored to foundation beds where floral fragrance is enjoyed at entries and windows. Add to the back of the perennial border for bright accent. Exceptional in small city gardens where just a few plants are allowed and therefore must be the best.

Water deeply, regularly during the first growing season to establish an extensive root system. Feed with a general purpose fertilizer before new growth begins in spring. For a formal appearance, prune after flowering. |
| History | This variety is one of the Burkwood hybrids, which resulted from the cross of Daphne cneorum and D. caucasica. |
| Lore | Daphne was named for a naiad nymph Daphne, faned lover of Apollo in Greek mythology.. |
