Flowers can be four times larger than Daphne odora species and have a delicious perfume with sweet citrus undertones. Lilac buds fade to white and open all down the stem intensifying the fragrance. Grows in sun or shade with low water requirements. Once established requires only occasional deep watering during periods of extended heat. Plant in a well-drained position which is critical for success with any Daphne. For optimum results, lightly trim and feed with Harrys Daphne Food to maintain shape and vigor. Tolerant of both acid and alkaline soil types H 1.2 x 1.2m W
HYDRANGEA 'CANDLELIGHT' This outstanding new Hydrangea paniculata produces conical, creamy white flowers on deep red stems for an impressive and unforgettable visual display. As the flowers age they gently change to shades of pale and deeper pinks. ‘Candlelight’ is an elegant, yet extremeley hardy shrub with strong stems ensuring that flowers are held proudly upright from later summer through to the autumn season.
We are a huge ‘fans’ of Scaevola! These gorgeous little evergreen plants are easy care and seem to flower forever, well at least from spring to autumn. Scaevola are native to Australia’s east coast and thrive in a variety of conditions. They are a great choice if you are looking to encourage birds and beneficial insects to your garden. They are dry tolerant once established and require a well drained soil. The plants are super low maintenance and simply dead heading to encourage more flowering. Pink Breeze proves to be one of the most compact varleties and covered itself with profuse flushes of bright pink blooms across the whole bush. The new flowers pushed past the old ones, creating a continuous flowering period.
