If you plant them among larger plants, then you can't see them. And when they're down very low, it's hard to get down to them. So, placement is maybe as important as lean soil and full sun. This is gorgeous. This is a Daphne.
Most Daphnes are three or four feet high, or so.
Yeah, mine is. This one is about eight or nine years old and that's about as tall as it's going to get. It get's a little bit wider each year. And that sometimes makes a problem, because this raised bed, that makes it easier for us to appreciate it, serves as kind of a feeding shelf for deer. And since that stays green through the winter, sometimes I get some damage on that.
