gardening BY RACHEL FOSTER Adorable Daphnes Variations on an aromatic treasure O n mild days in early spring, you catch the sweet scent of daphne all over town. Winter daphne (Daphne odora) is a wildly popular shrub where it is hardy, and that includes protected spots in Western Oregon. When the purple fl ower buds open at last to reveal pale interiors, the fragrance can be so intense that some people (myself included) fi nd it a bit overwhelming at close quarters. The evergreen leaves are shiny and relatively large, and in the form most often encountered they have narrow yellow margins. A variety with pure white fl owers and plain green leaves occasionally shows up. This winter was hard on Daphne odora, providing a very visible lesson in where it prefers to grow. Specimens exposed to wind and sun turned yellow and dropped many leaves whereas those up against a north wall or shaded by evergreens were mostly in tip-top condition. It may be that the larger a daphne’s leaf, the more shade it prefers and tolerates. The rhododendron garden at Hendricks Park boasts Daphne bholua, an unusual, upright species that has leaves even bigger than winter daphne’s. Judging by the abundant January bloom, it is perfectly happy in its rather sunless spot. While winter daphne remains a favorite, in recent years it has become easier to fi nd a variety of daphnes with different blooming times and greater resistance to cold. Compact, evergreen shrubs with fragrant fl owers sound like a sure hit, so why did it take so long? Many species of daphne will fl ourish in sun as well as in bright indirect light. Just don’t bother to plant any daphne in a windy or waterlogged location, and remember that This winter was hard on Daphne odora, providing more daphnes are killed by a very visible lesson in where it prefers to grow. over-watering in summer resilient. One of my favorites, Daphne than any other factor. In my tangutica, is one tough daphne that blooms experience, dry conditions in summer and from late spring onward.

Sun-loving D. caucasica has small gray-green leaves and tiny pinky white fl owers and is almost never out of bloom. Lilac daphne (D. gengkwa), outstanding for the sheer beauty of its generous April bloom, is virtually scentless. You can’t have it all. Daphne x burkwoodii (a semi-deciduous cross between cneorum and caucasica) makes a compact cushion about two feet high and slightly wider. ‘Carol Mackie’ is a pretty, variegated form that seems to be easy to grow. Other, newer, variegated daphnes, though more spectacular, can be decidedly touchy. I think all daphnes tolerate pruning so long as it is little and often and done in spring and early summer when the plant is in active growth. On the other hand, daphnes do not appreciate you messing with their roots, and attempts to transplant large, established specimens are rarely successful. D. tangutica grows easily from seed; most others must be propagated from cuttings. Well-grown nursery specimens can be expensive, so it may be worth seeking out small ones. Community plant sales are a likely venue.
