Mounds of dark evergreen leaves bear long-lasting and fragrant purple flowers in spring with sporadic re-bloom in summer. It is much admired in the garden for its broad cushion form. 12" tall and 24" wide, dense and low to the ground, it successfully shades out weeds. Plant along a pathway, in the rock garden, and definitely close by for the wonderful fragrance.

Some Daphne can be a challenge to grow but well worth the effort. These are fickle creatures and not for the faint of heart. We send out healthy plants but can't be responsible for other cultural requirements that are out of our control.  Plant the rock Daphne in quick-draining soil and do not over-water them. Avoid watering during the heat of the day.

Carefully packed for each plant

Once your order is ready, we bring the plants from our greenhouses into a holding area. Each plant is wrapped by hand and, when needed, staked to protect tender stems. Because our inventory is so diverse, we adjust the packing method for each plant based on its size, type, and stage of growth.

We reuse clean paper and plastic packing materials whenever practical. It is easier on the planet and helps keep shipping costs down for you, too.

Choose your Monday ship date

At checkout, choose from the available Monday ship dates. We ship with UPS from Monmouth, Oregon, and you will receive an email with tracking information when your shipment is prepared or enters the UPS system.

Arrival times vary by destination and weather, so we cannot guarantee a specific delivery date or time.
