Daphne Perfume Princess - 25cm Pot

Daphne ‘Perfume Princess’ is an exceptional evergreen shrub, renowned for its remarkably large, intensely fragrant flowers and long flowering season. Bred in New Zealand, this award-winning variety produces blooms up to four times larger than traditional Daphne odora, with sweet citrus undertones that perfume the garden from winter into spring. Lilac-pink buds gradually open to pure white flowers along the entire length of each stem, creating an unforgettable display.

Unlike many traditional daphnes, ‘Perfume Princess’ features lush, deep green foliage that remains attractive year-round and has improved sun tolerance. Its compact habit makes it an outstanding choice for planting near entrances, patios, paths or outdoor entertaining areas where its beautiful fragrance can be fully appreciated.

Equally suited to garden beds, borders and decorative pots, this elegant shrub is a must-have for anyone wanting winter colour and perfume in a Melbourne garden.

Care & Growing Tips
Plant in full sun to part shade in a sheltered position with slightly acidic, well-drained soil. Water regularly while establishing and during extended dry periods, but avoid waterlogged conditions. Feed in early autumn and spring with a slow-release fertiliser suitable for daphnes or flowering shrubs. Lightly prune after flowering to maintain shape and remove damaged growth. Apply mulch to keep roots cool, ensuring it is kept clear of the stem.

Please note: The sap may cause skin irritation and all parts of the plant are toxic if ingested.
