| Description | The earliest, longest flowering of daphnes with better sun and heat tolerance. The profusion of very large flower clusters with deep pink buds open in progression to blush pink, highly fragrant blooms with soft citrus undertones and age to white. The upright form with gently arching foliage is ideal near a window, entryway, or pathway. Evergreen. |
|---|---|
| Bloom Time | Mid-winter to spring |
| Deciduous/Evergreen | Evergreen |
| Special Features | Easy Care, Attracts Pollinators |
| Problems/Solutions | Coastal Exposure, Deer Resistant, Rabbit Resistant |
| Growth Rate | Moderate |
| Flower Attributes | Flowers for Cutting, Fragrant, Long Bloom Season, Showy Flowers |
| Patent Act | Asexual reproduction of plants protected by the Plant Patent Act is prohibited during the life of the patent. |
| Landscape Use | Border, Hedge |
| Design Ideas | This attractive and versatile evergreen shrub with upright and slightly spreading habit is perfect for foundation planting. Position in the garden near a window, doorway or path, where the sweet scent will add fragrance to home and garden from winter to late spring. If planting space is minimal, feature in a decorative pot for cool-season enjoyment. Consider pairing containers of spring bulbs and summer flowering perennials, placed to the foreground to create a mixed container display for season-long color. |
| Flower Color | Pink |
| Foliage Color | Green |
| Companion Plants | Japanese Maple (Acer); Azalea (Azalea); Astilbe (Astilbe); Mountain Laurel (Kalmia); Camellia (Camellia) |
| Care Instructions | Provide enriched, neutral to slightly acidic, very well-drained soil; avoid heavy, wet, poorly drained sites. Add compost to improve drainage or plant in raised beds. Water deeply, regularly during the first growing season to establish an extensive root system; reduce frequency, once established. Apply fertilizer after flowering. |
| History | An exciting new introduction from Tesselaar developed by renowned breeder Mark Jury of Australia. 2016 recipient of the prestigious Plant of the Year award at the Australia Nursery and Garden Center Industry Association's National Conference. Perfume Princess® is touted as superior not only in fragrance and form, but is an earlier bloomer, with larger flowers (that may appear not only in clusters at terminal ends, but along the stems as well), a longer bloom period, is more sun tolerant, and has a greater range of cold and heat tolerance than other daphnes. |
