Delicious Daphne
It is so exciting to walk through the garden and catch a whiff of a delicious scent. Not knowing at first where it is coming from, you continue to search and then right in front of you appear the bright, pink buds amongst the glossy leaves of the treasured Daphne.
This is a special shrub for a shady area and preferably near the garden path or at an entrance where one could enjoy the wonderful scent of it’s blossoms.
Our Daphne are all in bud and just starting to show the wonderful pink color of their blossoms. Remember this evergreen variety if you need to add some color and fragrance to a low light area of your garden.

Forcing Branches for Indoor Color
Lets bring spring inside to make us smile until the actual season finally arrives…
The shrubs that naturally bloom in the spring are good choices:
Forsythia, Flowering Quince, Crabapple, Plum, Cherries, etc.
Six weeks before they bloom naturally is a good time to cut some branches making sure the buds are already swelling. The warmest time of day is the best time to cut when there is sap in the branches. Choose the branches with the largest buds remembering to be selective, as you are actually pruning the plant and want to leave it with a good shape.
Soak the entire branch overnight in the bathtub to make it easier for the buds to open.
The next day, give the branches a fresh cut and arrange them in a vase with warm water. Remember to change the water daily.
It is so exciting to enjoy spring indoors just a bit earlier!
