Daphne (Greek name of Laurus nobilis). Thymelaeceae. Ornamental woody plants, chiefly grown for their handsome foliage and sweet-scented, white, purple, lilac or rarely greenish flowers, which, with some species, in warmer climates, often appear in the winter.
Daphne (Greek name of Laurus nobilis). Thymelaeceae. Ornamental woody plants, chiefly grown for their handsome foliage and sweet-scented, white, purple, lilac or rarely greenish flowers, which, with some species, in warmer climates, often appear in the winter.
Propagation is by seeds, sown after maturity or stratified, but germinating very slowly; also by layers put down in spring and taken off the following year. The evergreen species may be increased by cuttings of mature wood in fall under glass, and kept in a cool greenhouse during the winter. If gentle bottom heat can be given in early spring, it will be of advantage to the development of the roots; softwood cuttings taken from forced plants may also be used. D. odora is often veneer-grafted on seedling stock of D. Laureola in winter, or on roots of D. Mezereum; also other species are grafted on roots of D. Mezereum. D. Cneorum and probably its allies are readily increased in spring by removing the earth around the plant, pegging down the branches and filling with fine compost almost to the tops of the branches. Next spring, if the compost is carefully removed, a large number of little buds, each supplied with a white root, are found along the branches; they are easily detached and planted in pans or boxes.
