Anyone got the secret of growing this well? I've tried several times to
bring on small (30 cm) plants in pots, but never succeeded in getting them
past 3 years. Maybe it's the use of pots it does not like. In a couple
of gardens not too far away (about 400 m), there are some quite large
plants (1.5 m across by 1 m high) which are obviously very happy, and
quite old. And they are in garden soil (clay here, unless improved in
those gardens). I find the scent one of the best of any plants.

BTW, I have no problem with Daphne retusa. Kept one alive in a pot for
about 16 years.


It likes shade or dappled sunlight. full sun and it will be very unhappy,
roots cools & moist but well drained ie standing water in a pot saucer not
advised
