Daphne : Plant Profile
Daphne are popular around the world, and yes it's the perfume that really attracts, although we do like the small bright flowers as well. Did you know that Daphne can be deciduous or evergreen depending on species, and with over 70 species flower color also varies greatly. Daphne odora leucanthe and Daphne bholua are two of the most popular fragrant Daphnes, and remember not all Daphnes are fragrant. Daphne plants do not like frost and do well in a sheltered woodland position with protection from hot sun. Look for some of the rarer yellow flowering species sometimes available at plant fairs and from plant collectors.

ELLERSLIE FLOWER SHOW NEWS
Two new releases of the Chelsea Flower Show crowd-pleasing allium bulb will be launched at next week's Ellerslie International Flower Show. Allium Mars (pictured right) and Allium Mount Everest (below) from South Africa will be released by GardenPost, New Zealand's largest garden-related mail order business. Company owner Geoff Brunsden says alliums have tended to be an afterthought for many gardeners when it comes to thinking about bulbs for their garden. "Say bulbs and it's usually tulips, daffodils and crocuses that spring to mind. Alliums have tended to be a second cousin, yet the bulbs have fantastic showy flowers which are great for cutting and drying." |
 Allium Mars |
He says as alliums grow to more than one metre in height they tend to be the floral pylons of the garden, standing tall and marching across the landscape.
"Alliums have strong appeal because of their architectural structure; long, tall, slender stems topped with balls that often tower above other plants, giving height and depth to the garden."
GardenPost imports and sells thousands of varieties of bulbs and plants from throughout the world. They also stock Allium Gladiator, Allium Purple Sensation and Allium Giganteum.
The new release Allium Mars and Allium Mount Everest will retail at the Ellerslie International Flower Show for $11.50 a bulb.
