Daphne x transatlantica is a hybrid of Daphne caucasica and Daphne sericea. Daphne x transatlantica 'Pink Fragrance' is a compact, semi-evergreen shrub producing richly scented, pale-pink blooms. As the flowers are produced on new growth, it'll keep flowering throughout the growing season, from spring to late autumn.
Grow Daphne x transatlantica 'Pink Fragrance' in full sun with well-drained soil – next to paths and seating areas is ideal, to best enjoy the fragrance. Avoid winter waterlogging and mulch in spring with well-rotted compost or leaf mould.
Little to no pruning is needed as the shrub has a neat growing habit.
