At a time of year when flowers are in short supply, you can rely on daphnes to brighten up the garden. They come in many shapes and forms – some will grace borders and rockeries, while others grow well in containers on the patio. There are about 50 species, deciduous and evergreen, tiny to medium-sized, that flower at different times between late winter and early summer. So amazing is the scent you'll want a pot as near the door as possible to enjoy the fragrance each time you go out.
