Daphne odora

Loving the fragrance of this Daphne every time I walk down the garden. Even covered with fleece to protect from frost allows the scent through.

That's beautiful. I love plants with strong scent 😍

Me too @angiecrazycatlady, I’ve got virtually nothing worth talking about in my garden at the moment! 😰

Love the scent of a Daphne Odora, went to a garden in Kent they had a massive one by their front door. Standing and talking you could smell it.

I agree Mitch, we’ve noticed as we walk past people’s gardens that we can smell a Daphne before we see it. Gorgeous 🙂

That's beautiful 😍

It really is @jyotu but the smell is even better!

😘❤

This is the 3rd Daphne I've bought and the other 2 have died on me. Any advice welcome, situation, potting....HELP please. I love them so much but can't afford to keep buying them.

Fertile slightly acid well drained sunnyish position don't disturb the roots when in the ground @itstillhelen

Fingers crossed Helen 🤞🏼

Thankyou @carolgs, fingers crossed it's third time lucky.

I have one that has lived in a pot for years. It has been fine but hasn't flowered the last couple of years & am similarly at a loss as to how to cheer it up, so if you get any more good tips, please let me know 😊

They apparently don't like pots but something eats mine in the ground. Why am I even bothering??

Because we do! That's what gardening is all about: bothering 😂😂

Mm, it's a very expensive 'hobby' with some of these difficult shrubs tho' 😫@awomanonabike

Haha! You're right! I control my spending by cycling to my nearest garden centre, so I'm not tempted!!

Try the RHS Website for advice with your Daphne too 😊

Fingers crossed @katgreen, this one has so far survived!

@itstillhelen might be worth checking for vine weevils as well 😲
