Received small, I planted this daphne in the foreground of a flower bed. It is truly vigorous with magnificent foliage, incredible flowering, and an amazing fragrance. It is the first of the season. I will have to move it, as it is one of my best finds on Promise DF and, in my opinion, an essential flower.

Description
The Daphne 'Spring Beauty' owes its name to the beauty of its clusters of large flowers in a lovely lilac pink, beautifully scented, capable of perfuming a whole area of the garden from the end of winter, with flowering continuing for several weeks in spring. This new hybrid is undoubtedly the most vigorous of all daphnes. Adorned with beautiful foliage, mostly evergreen in winter, this bush is ornamental throughout the year. 'Spring Beauty' is relatively hardy and slightly less demanding than a rhododendron, while being much more floriferous and fragrant. Plant it near the house or not far from a pathway!
The Daphne 'Spring Beauty' is a bush from the Thymelaeaceae family, a cousin of the "Bois joli" or "Garou". This recent English hybrid is the result of cross-breeding between Daphne aff. sureil, of Chinese origin, and Daphne bholua, a tall upright shrub native to the eastern Himalayas, are highly fragrant and very hardy. They are montain shrubs that grow in light and humid undergrowth, developing on non-limestone (acidic) soils, cool but often steep and rocky, and therefore well-drained.
'Spring Beauty' forms an upright bushy shrub, reaching 2.50 m (8 ft 2 in) in height and 1.70 m (5 ft 7 in) in spread under good growing conditions. When grown in a container, it will remain smaller. Its growth is quite slow. Very floriferous, it is adorned from the end of February (depending on the climate) until April, with elongated rose-purple flower buds. They open up into large star-shaped flowers, pale lilac pink in colour, sometimes reaching 6 cm (2.4 in) in diameter. They are clustered in large umbels that emit a sweet and spicy fragrance, with notes of cloves. The large entire, lanceolate, leathery dark green leaves are 6 to 10 cm (2.4 to 3.9 in) long and 1 to 2.5 cm (0.4 to 1 in) wide. They are grouped in tufts at the top of the branches and then spread along the entire length of the current year's stems. They are evergreen in mild and temperate climates, but often semi-evergreen in cold climates.
The hybrid Daphne 'Spring Beauty' can withstand short frosts of around -10°C (14 °F) at a minimum, even when grown in a large pot. It appreciates the same conditions as camellias, azaleas, and rhododendrons, with which it will form beautiful combinations. It can be used in borders, as a standalone plant, or in very large pots, and tolerates morning sun very well. To enjoy its exceptional flowering and fragrance, it is wise to plant it near a window, terrace, pathway, or entrance. Its flowering branches are also beautiful in bouquets, mixed with those of Japanese quinces or Prunus.
Note: Daphnes can be high-maintenance and difficult to cultivate. They are best suited for experienced gardeners.

Planting and care
The Daphne 'Spring Beauty' should be planted in spring or autumn (in mild climates) in a cool, rather fertile, light and well-drained soil, acidic to neutral, devoid of limestone. It appreciates a sunny but not scorching exposure (sun in the morning) to semi-shade and can withstand short frosts of around -10 to -12°C (14 to 10.4 °F) (possibly more if planted in the ground for several years). Pruning is unnecessary except for dead branches. Do not let the soil dry out, apply organic mulch or plant small perennials to protect the base. Avoid disturbing the roots as the plant would not appreciate it at all. After flowering, apply organic fertiliser. Just like Daphne odora, it can sometimes be affected by fungus; treat it with a fungicide in spring.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
