Daphne
« on: April 03, 2014, 03:28:45 PM »
I just took a look at a graft I made of Wikstromea gemmata and there is a green shoot  :o
I used. D. retusa seedling after our dear Mr Christie showed us how to do it last year.  Two small leaves hung on at first but later dropped off so I put it outside for winter.  Imagine my delight when I just took a look and saw the new green shoot!  Now I'm going to have to find out how to look after my new baby...

I'd love to take cuttings from my small collection.

Can the miniatures be rejuvenated by pruning?

From what I've read the opposite could well be the effect Mark. Michael would be able to confirm.

Superb Rudi - D. Calcicola and  D. gemmata are so bright and beautiful - but every daphne is lovely to me.

I wish we could grow Daphne here. Another genus that will have to wait until we move to a more sheltered part of Scotland. Until then, these pictures of gorgeous plants are a joy to see (if a little galling).

Daphne retusa
It got flattened by snow a couple of times so I cut it hard back, about one third 3 years ago and the rest 2 years ago.  It is now looking good

That's heartening Roma, I had to chop about a third off mine last year as it had overgrown the path, it does appear to be shooting out now, if it does I shall chop the rest down a bit as it really has thrived beneath my Cornus mas
