Re: zone 7 plants -Daphne?

Anelle,
I also have heard that D. odora aureomarginata is not as hardy as D. odora
alba. I have two Daphne odoras, one of them aureomarginata, the other alba.
Both are growing like weeds here in z 7a (east Tennessee) and are just
coming into bloom now. The key, I think, is good drainage, especially where
you have cold rainy winters..
