Daphne (Thymelaeaceae) DJHC98164

sp. from China

From second generation seed grown from one of Dan Hinkley's collections made near the Tibetan border with Yunnan in 1998 from over 3000m. In cultivation it forms a small dark glossy evergreen shrub mounding to 1.3m tall, bearing a continuation of clustered narrowly tubular creamy-white scented flowers throughout the summer, followed by a conspicuous display of plump orbicular orange-red fruit. Best grown in full sun in a well drained but moisture retentive soil.
