This rock garden plant is slowly growing upward along the stone wall its against. Blooms in spring with repeated flushes throughout the summer

Yet another choice and hard to find rock garden Daphne. There are two forms of D. jasminea on the market; a low, hummock-forming plant (under 6") and a more upright form that can reach 18". Both are evergreen with late spring terminal clusters of pink-budded, white flowers. Sporatic blooms throughout the rest of the summer.
