Daphne x susannae ‘Lawrence Crocker' | Lawrence Crocker Daphne
DESCRIPTION
Daphne x susannae 'Lawrence Crocker' is a compact evergreen shrub perfect for small gardens or containers, known for its fragrant flowers, attractive foliage, and petite size. Its glossy dark green leaves provide year-round interest and serve as a lovely backdrop for the highly fragrant, tubular pink flowers that bloom in early spring. The sweet, citrusy fragrance fills the air, adding early-season interest to the garden. 'Lawrence Crocker' thrives in partial shade to full sun and well-draining, slightly acidic soil. It's essential to avoid heavy clay soil or waterlogged areas to prevent root rot. Regular watering is necessary, especially during dry spells, but the soil should be allowed to dry out slightly between waterings.
