I have three of these. One, in full shade, has attractive foliage but doesn't bloom. The one in part shade blooms moderately. By the front door, in full sun and poor soil, I have one that blooms profusely from February until May, and has spread to about 3 feet tall and 6 feet wide. The smell is heavenly for about 20 feet in all directions and makes winter feel like spring. It gets no summer water and doesn't mind at all.

Winter daphne is one of the very few things I like about winter (am no snow-bunny!). Despite reading (after I bought it) that it can be hard to grow, our Daphne has grown into a real show-stopper!
We planted one about 15 years ago, and it is now about 12 feet around and about 5 feet tall. When it blooms (feb-march), you can smell it from 100 yards.

Atlanta, GA - I bought three small plants last fall and they are all blooming now. I could not resist cutting a flower and bringing it in to admire closeup - then after the blooms had faded I thought "hmmm - put the cutting in a pot under my seed lights?" Now - in just a couple of weeks - I have two very sturdy little plants making nice green growth. Very satisfactory! I plan to do a few more... I have just regular shop lights.

Incredible fragrance almost gets lost in our large yard, but still worth it. Long bloom period in early spring and attractive evergreen, glossy foliage are added bonuses for this plant.
