Is D. sojakii on its own roots, Rudi, or grafted?  Is is fully evergreen?

Roma, Thorkild and Ian,
Thank you for your fine pictures.
Maggi, I got the Daphne sojakii as a small seedling which
took several years until it flowered last spring. It was a nice surprise
that the resulting seeds germinated this march.
Apart from a few lost leaves during winter the plant is fully evergreen.

Thank you Rudi.  The foliage has a very fresh look which made me wonder if it was deciduous for you. Nice that it is  properly evergreen.

It took her a few years to get started Matt and had it not been for Michael Campbell persuading me to give her a bit more time she could have hit the compost bin. Wouldn't be without her now.

A couple of high potash feeds each year just after flowering is over (Michael's recommendation).

Thanks David,  I've just been astonished by the photo of the huge  plant shown by David King in the Northern Hemisphere thread too : http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=12756.msg323729#msg323729 -

I am having serious feelings of envy about these lovely plants.  :'(

I really must feed up my languishing plant  to see if it will take a burst of growth  this year.   :-\
