DESCRIPTION
Daphne wolongensis produces clusters of soft pink to pale rose flowers in spring, each bloom opening with narrow petals and releasing a light fragrance along the stems. The blossoms appear among slender, lance-shaped leaves that form a neat covering of fresh green foliage through the growing season. The narrow leaves create a fine texture along the branches, giving the plant a refined appearance.

Native to mountainous regions of western China, particularly Sichuan Province, Daphne wolongensis grows in woodland habitats. In gardens it brings delicate seasonal interest to shaded borders and woodland plantings where the soft pink flowers and fine foliage add gentle color and texture.
