We love Daphnes, so we try to carry as many varieties as we can get our hands on.  The staples of Daphne cneorum, D. ‘Carol Mackie’ and D. ‘Brigg’s Moonlight’ are available throughout the year.  In early spring, we will have D. genkwa (in three forms), D. retusa, D. mezereum, D. x ‘Lawerence Crocker’ and D. x transatlantica ‘Beulah Cross’ and with any luck a few more varieties as well.  There is a great new book on Daphnes by Robin White, appropriately titled “Daphnes, A Practical Guide for Gardeners”.   This book was just published by Timber Press and my copy arrived two days ago.  Amazingly, I opened the book jacket to this concise statement on Daphnes.  Robin White says, “The scent of a daphne alone is enough to stop passers-by in their tracks.  Add to this exquisite flowers in a range of creams, pinks, and lilacs, fine leaves, often with striking variegation, and it is a little surprise that discerning gardeners are rarely without at least one daphne in their collection”.  Stop in to pick out a daphne of your own.  You’ll be glad you did!
