Daphne x susannae 'Tichborne'
Daphne 'Tichborne'
Daphne shrubs rarely get taller than a four feet tall. they are slow growing and shouldn't need pruning. They bloom in winter to late spring and are evergreen in all but the coolest climates. They have a mounding form and thick leathery sword-shaped leaves. They are grown for their clusters of fragrant pink, yellow or white flowers. They tend to be short-lived plants. 'Tichborne' is very free-flowering with a compact form that produces an abundance of large, fragrant pale rosy purple flowers in spring.
