Daphne gemmata 'Royal Crown' is a coveted ornamental shrub, renowned for its fragrant flowers and regal presence in the garden. This particular variety boasts clusters of deep pink buds that open to reveal softer pink, sweetly scented flowers, typically blooming in late spring. The attractive, narrow, dark green leaves provide a lush backdrop for the delicate blossoms. Its compact, rounded form and relatively slow growth make 'Royal Crown' an excellent choice for mixed borders, container gardens, or as an understated focal point in a garden design.
Why We Like It
- Fragrant Blooms: Offers a delightful scent that enhances any garden setting.
- Attractive Foliage: Dark green leaves remain vibrant throughout the growing season.
- Compact Growth: Ideal for smaller gardens or containers due to its contained size.
What to Know
- Sunlight: Prefers partial shade, especially in hotter climates to prevent leaf scorch.
- Watering: Requires well-drained soil, water regularly but ensure no waterlogging.
- Soil: Thrives best in fertile, humus-rich, slightly acidic to neutral soil.
- Pruning: Generally requires little pruning; if needed, prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape.
- Planting Location: Best to plant in a location where it won’t need to be moved, as Daphnes can be sensitive to transplantation.
