Re: Daphne

Moira:

I am quite sure that soil type had a great deal to do
with it.  However, most people who grew Daphne (not a
commoner's plant) in California, knew that it required
an acid soil, much as Azaleas do.  Even the most
thorough soil prep, did not, unfortunately, increase
one's chances of success significantly.  It seems
other factors were more important.
