The Daphne genus, commonly known as Daphne, is a highly fragrant and elegant member of the Thymelaeaceae family. These evergreen or deciduous shrubs are prized for their clusters of small, tubular flowers in shades of pink, white, or purple, often blooming in late winter or early spring. Daphne is renowned for its intoxicating fragrance, which adds sensory appeal to gardens and borders.
Native to Europe, Asia, and North Africa, Daphne thrives in well-drained soils and prefers sunny to partially shaded locations. These compact shrubs are perfect for small gardens, woodland edges, or as statement plants in borders. Species such as Daphne odora, celebrated for its highly perfumed blooms, and Daphne mezereum, known for its striking early spring flowers, are particularly popular among gardeners.
The Daphne genus combines beauty, fragrance, and versatility, making it a cherished choice for gardeners seeking low-maintenance shrubs with year-round interest.
