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

Maybe it's the cool root run which I need to consider. Next time I try it
I'll line the pot with bubble polythene.
