In the wild, the protected daphne usually grows in slightly shady, moist but well-drained locations. This is not the case for the commercially available varieties. Almost all daphne breeds for the garden are completely unproblematic in terms of location.
Daphne thrives in both shade and sun
Daphne grows almost everywhere
You can plant daphne almost anywhere in the garden. Whether in a sunny, semi-shady or shady location - the ornamental shrub unfolds its full splendor during the flowering period.
The soil should be rather moist but permeable. Daphne does not tolerate waterlogging. Slightly nutritious, like calcareous soil is ideal for daphne. A mulch layer provides new nutrients and prevents the soil from drying out.
Daphne is very good as a solitary plant in the front yard or as a small border to other garden areas. In gardens with children and pets, the ornamental shrubs should not be grown because of their toxicity.
tips
You can also keep daphne in a bucket. Then, however, the ornamental shrub needs more care because it cannot take care of itself with its long roots.
