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.
