Grafting Daphne

I was instructed by the Chief Domestic that it had to go as it was blocking the view from the conservatory, fortunately some of it is left to grow on as it had two stems. However, I now have masses of grafting material if I only had some rootstocks. Any ideas? Are there any commonly available plants that would do? I have a few small Daphne retusa, which it would be a shame to hack, but I could use these if they were suitable. Trevor East Yorkshire I'll be interested in replies to this, as far as I've seen the received wisdom is that daphnes are very difficult to propagate by any method. I bought one last year and it was delightful. I moved it this year and it has lot of buds and a few flowers. Most buds, though, are pecked off by the hens :-( Are you sure it wasn't done by the neighbour's cats? -- Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit; Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad |
