In addition, this one is not quite as hardy as the others, and may need to be given some cover protection, should temperatures dip below 25 degrees. Frost or sun burn, will show-up in a blackening of the tips of the leaves and in severe cases the leaves are apt to drop from the plant. The dark green evergreen leaves often have a cream-colored margin along the outside edge. Daphne somerset - personally, I think this is one of the most overlooked of all the Daphnes. It is sometimes referred to as Daphne burkwoodii.
Flowers are pinkish-white and have an intense fragrance.
In my garden it flowers in the late spring and again later in the summer. If there is one drawback to this plant, it is that it loses some of its leaves during the winter dormant season. So in other words, it is semi-evergreen. It has a more upright habit of growth, and eventually attains a height of about 4 to 5 feet, sometimes more if crowded. In my garden, it does best in partial sun and shade, although I have seen it in other gardens in full sun.
