About this plant
Daphne × transatlantica 'Eternal Fragrance' is a superb, compact semi-evergreen shrub renowned for its sweetly scented flowers. Unlike many daphnes, this variety blooms repeatedly from spring through to autumn, ensuring a continuous display of delicate pale pink-white flowers. Its glossy, deep green leaves provide year-round structure, making it an excellent choice for borders, patio containers, or near pathways where its delightful fragrance can be enjoyed. Hardy and low maintenance, this variety is drought-tolerant once established and highly resistant to disease.
