Daphne x 'Perfume Princess White'

‘Perfume Princess White’ is a chance mutation of Perfume Princess.  Like it’s parent, it blooms early and long.  Deliciously fragrant white flowers emerge in Mid-Winter and continue through Spring.  Blooms along the stem as well as at each branch tip.

The plant maintains a dense upright bush shape with glossy green pointed leaves.  Good disease resistance.

Un-fussy, grows almost anywhere. It’ll grow in any soil but prefers soils that are slightly acid and free draining.  Full sun to part shade.

Created by the master hybridizer of New Zealand, Mark Jury, who also has hybridized Magnolias and Rhododendrons, and now has gotten involved with the Daphnes. By crossing two winter flowering Daphne odora x Daphne bholua, the result is a very long blooming and robust growing cultivar that was even voted to be 'Plant of the Year' in Australia in 2016. Not only are the flowers larger, they are in clusters along the stems, resulting in more FRAGRANT flowers that the species. This is the white form, with no pink in the flowers. Perfume your yard or garden from February to April with this valuable plant. Hardy in zones 7-9.
