Anthony Tesselaar showcases Perfume Princess, a new form of daphne bred in New Zealand that combines the beautiful fragrance of traditional daphne with easier growing characteristics and a longer flowering season.

• Perfume Princess offers larger blooms, a longer flowering season and easier-growing characteristics than traditional daphne varieties.
• Its sweetly scented flowers have soft citrus undertones, creating a beautiful perfume that can fill the garden.
• Unlike many traditional daphnes, Perfume Princess is vigorous and easy to grow, thriving in full sun as well as gardens and pots.
• The dark, glossy foliage and masses of fragrant flowers make it a standout feature when it blooms in spring.
• Its flowers have the familiar rich, sweet daphne fragrance, with hints of citrus and spice, and are produced over a longer period than the traditional Daphne odora.
• Perfume Princess is available in garden centres during spring, making now a great time to add one to your garden.
