Daphne (Odora) Care - Hints and Tips

Care, pruning and propagation of the Daphne Odora shrub in my garden. As an amateur gardener its important to have plants that are relatively easy to care for. In this video I show how I care for the Daphne, prune it and for the first time attempt to take cuttings.

So interesting! My mother always had Daphne in her garden, but I had never heard about the origins before. Thanks for that😊

[@virtualgardener]

Well thanks for the idea, I may try layering my daphne as well as the hydrangea.

It is mid winter here in south eastern Australia (Greetings 🇦🇺) and the Daphne has come into bud. Due to not having flowers for cutting I have cut some Daphne for the vase BUT I think I have cut too soon. I was hoping the buds would open indoors. Should I have waited until the flowers were peeking through? 😊

[@virtualgardener]

Hi. Thanks for getting in touch. I have to admit here in the UK these shrubs are not usually used for cut flowers. The blooms are fairly short lived and better left in situ. I alway think they bring the smell of spring with them.

[@virtualgardener]

Hahaha, not always! He loves helping in the garden though 😊
