Giles, I think the vibes are getting through as your Daphne gemmata is clearly meant for me with a surname of Gemmill and it is such a fabulous plant - can you fill me in with size/scent etc

The little whites are exceptionally beautiful, especially the white D. petraea. :P

Dear Robin,
My D.gemmata is just a small cutting at the moment, but Wisley have got one about 2 foot high on their rock garden.
It doesn't have a fragrance I'm afraid. Hardiness might be a problem for you (in the Alps), but not a problem here.

Daphne burkwoodii flowering now - bought 12 or so years ago from Pottertons, it is one of the easiest daphnes to please and very rewarding.

Some great looking plants there.  My old faithfuls all did their stuff and 'Eternal Fragrance' is still going, but for some reason not a single flower on D. arbuscula this spring.  Just lots of leaves.

Did I mention that there are quite a few fab Daphnes in the May issue of International Rock Gardener?  8)

Wow!  :o
Michael,
is this a spontaneous sport into variegation or did you buy it like that?
I wonder what a full sized plant of it would look like?
cheers

Fermi.it was grown from seed,and as I grow thousands of seedlings I have no idea where the seed came from, as I do not keep records of the seed source of Daphne.

Thanks, Michael.
That's even better - you've got the PVR or whatever they call the "breeding rights" over there.
It looks better than some of the Berberis which have similar variegation.
