Daphne x transatlantica Eternal Fragrance® 'Blafra'
Fragrant Daphne
A nicely sized young plant that established well straight after planting (slightly acidic soil, partial shade, but it still gets some hot sun in summer). A few weeks after planting, I already had small flowers (which smell of jasmine). Nearly a year on, my daphne is producing lots of new shoots and is set to fill out beautifully this year!

Description
The Daphne x transatlantica 'Eternal Fragrance' is a recent creation that stands out for the duration and intensity of the fragrance of its flowering, which is blush white. This shrub, naturally compact and very bushy, blooms from the heart of spring until the beginning of summer, and then again from the end of summer until the first cold spells, that is to say for 5 to 6 months. Requiring little maintenance, leafy even in winter, compact and very floriferous, this daphne is a true gem for the garden or terrace, in non-limestone soil.
The Daphne x transatlantica is a horticultural hybrid resulting from the cross-breeding between the Daphne caucasica, a botanical species with white flowers and deciduous foliage native to the Caucasus, and the D. collina, evergreen, with pink flowers, native to rocky slopes and scrub vegetation in the Naples region of Italy. These shrubs, belonging to the Thymelaeaceae family, are resilient mountain plants that grow in acidic, well-drained but moist soil. It is a slow-growing bush that does not need to be pruned.
The cultivar 'Eternal Fragrance' was introduced in 2004 by the English daphne specialist Robin White. It slowly forms a spreading shrub with a rounded or slightly flattened habit, compact, measuring 80cm (31.5 in) to 1m (3 ft 4 in) in all directions. Exceptionally floriferous, this daphne is adorned with pink buds that open into delicate tubular flowers, white with yellow-orange anthers, measuring 2cm (0.8 in) wide, highly fragrant, arranged in small round clusters at the end of each stem. Its flowering is abundant, starting timidly in May and then intensifying, with the bush covered in flowers until July. The blooming slows down in August, then resumes in September and lasts until October. The leaves, lanceolate and dark green, with a leathery lamina, are grouped in tufts at the end of the branches and then spread along the entire length of the year's stems. They are evergreen in mild and temperate climates, semi-evergreen in cold climates.
The Daphne x transatlantica 'Eternal Fragrance' is a beautiful shrub for ornamenting an ericaceous bed in climates that are not too dry. It will look superb in a container on a terrace, planted in good horticultural soil and watered with non-limestone water. To fully enjoy its fragrance, it is wise to place it near the house or a pathway. You can plant it with Japanese azaleas, acid-loving heathers (Calluna, Daboetia, Erica). Being mountainous in origin, it will also appreciate a cool alpine rockery, always in acidic soil, such as Lithodora fruticosa, Roscoea, Liriope muscari...
This Daphne is also available in pink under the name 'Pink Fragrance'.
Note: Daphnes can be high-maintenance and difficult to cultivate. They are best suited for experienced gardeners.

Planting and care
The Daphne x transatlantica 'Eternal Fragrance' is planted in spring or autumn in a soil, humus-bearing and well-drained, acid to neutral, devoid of limestone. The soil should remain moist even in summer. It appreciates a sunny to semi-shaded exposure. Pruning is unnecessary except for dead branches. Do not let the soil dry out, apply an organic mulch or plant heathers to protect its base. Pot cultivation is entirely possible: place your daphne in good horticultural soil, taking care to place a layer of clay pebbles at the bottom of the perforated pot for drainage. Water regularly with non-limestone water and add a fertiliser for acid-loving plants. Just like Daphne odora, it can be affected by fungus; treat preventively with a fungicide in spring, before flowering.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
