I have several daphne cneorum in Richland, Washington, a low-level dry desert in eastern Washington State. One of them is approximately 5 feet across and it blooms for about three weeks a year in early spring. They are drought tolerant (it grows in sandy soil topped with fine gravel) and they live a long, long time. This one is more than 20 years old. If I stand across the yard next to the blooming lilac (approximately 20 yards), I can still smell the lovely daphne. Everyone should have one of these plants.

This is the hardiest of the evergreen daphnes. Like all daphne, this one has wonderfully fragrant flowers. The plant forms a rounded bush to about a foot tall, so is small enough for most gardens. There is also a lovely variegated version.
