Summary
Fragrant pink blooms in the heart of winter make this daphne feel like spring arrived early.
Perfume Princess™ Daphne is prized for its unusually long flowering window and rich, classic daphne fragrance with a fresh citrus note. Clusters of soft pink blooms appear not only at branch tips, but also along the stems, creating a fuller, more continuous display through the cooler months.

Whether used as a statement container plant or a winter-blooming evergreen accent in mild-climate gardens, this selection delivers standout scent, seasonal interest, and a polished habit.
Care
Perfume Princess™ Daphne Care
Provide full sun to partial shade. In warmer climates, afternoon shade can help maintain healthy foliage and reduce stress during hot periods.
Plant in well-drained soil and avoid sites where water collects or where roots stay wet. Keep soil evenly moist during establishment, then water as needed to prevent the root zone from drying completely.
Feed lightly in spring to support steady growth and flowering. A small application of
slow release fertilizer
is typically sufficient.
Prune only as needed after flowering to maintain shape. Daphne prefers minimal disturbance, so avoid heavy pruning.
Container Growing: This daphne is especially well suited to patio pots and planters. Use a high-quality, well-draining potting mix and a container with drainage holes. Container-grown shrubs may require more frequent watering than in-ground plantings. Plants hardy in the ground may require winter protection when grown in containers in colder zones.
