A chance mutation from its pink-flowering parent, Daphne ‘Perfume Princess White’ shares an early and long-blooming mid-winter to spring season. Deliciously fragrant white flowers emerge along the stem as well as at each branch tip. A dense, upright bushy plant with glossy green pointed leaves and disease resistance for a sheltered spot near an entrance or gateway in a border enriched with plenty of organic matter.


  • Garden care:
    Daphnes do best, and prefer to be in the ground (rather than in containers), where they enjoy a deeper, cooler root run. Best in well-drained but moisture-retentive soil that contains plenty of organic matter, they won’t tolerate drought or waterlogging.

    Avoid excessive root disturbance during planting and keep pruning to a minimum since the plant is susceptible to die-back. Where necessary after flowering, lightly trim to remove misplaced branches in order to maintain a compact habit. Shelter from cold, drying winds.

    Cold hardiness can be improved by insulating the roots and soil surface with a thick 5cm (2in) layer of mulch and protecting foliage from severe or prolonged frost with a covering of horticultural fleece.
    • Humans/Pets: TOXIC if eaten; skin irritant
