So very sorry....I replied and then went on to read the numerous other
replies stating that sub-arctic conditions are survivable.  Upon
*reading* up on the plant after my justifiable chastisment, I am
reminded that our local problems with daphne stems from our wet
environment (Pacific Northwest) rather than the cold.
Sorry for providing mis-information.  I hate it when I do that.
