Daphne x transatlantica 'Pink Fragrance' is a compact, semi-evergreen shrub prized for its continuous display of dusky pink blooms and exceptional fragrance. This hybrid variety offers an extended flowering season, delighting gardeners with non-stop colour and scent from spring until autumn.

Why Choose 'Pink Fragrance'?

• Breathtaking Blooms: Masses of soft pink flowers appear in flushes from April through October, providing months of garden interest.
