Daphne odora 'Alba'*, commonly known as White Winter Daphne, is an evergreen shrub prized for its intensely fragrant white flowers. It typically reaches a height of 0.6 to 1.5 meters and a similar spread, forming a dense, mounded shape. The plant features glossy, dark green leaves and produces clusters of star-shaped white flowers from midwinter into spring. 'Alba' is frost-hardy and thrives in well-drained, slightly acidic soils with even moisture, preferring partial shade to full shade. It is well-suited for woodland gardens, shaded borders, or as a specimen plant near walkways and entrances, where its delightful fragrance can be appreciated. Note: all parts of the plant are toxic if ingested.
