Looks like it's gone to God. Buy another.They don't like their roots disturbed. Worth persevering with.

Shame 😟I've just purchased one on advice from Aunt, she says they have an amazing fragrance....could it have become a bit waterlogged over the winter I wonder?

Water log could have been an issue as when our kitchen was replaced they broke the pipe less than a meter away from here, as it leaked into gravel didn't notice till last week!

@scott22hay again it sounds extreme but if you give it a little prune it will encourage the plant to put on some new growth and reducing the size will allow it to concentrate the growth on a smaller plant as at the moment it's working hard.

@scott22hay (carrying on from above) to send out goodness to a big plant. A smaller plant will give it more chance to flourish. 😊🙏🏼

Did it recover? NB: Daphne has a bad habit of just turning up its toes so it's wise to always have a few cuttings on the go, as backup...
