Sorry, the venue is the garage.
I stuck it outside just long enough to take it's picture!
It's only hardy to z.7.
Never shy about zone-pushing, I've tried a few daphne odora's outside here.
I've had a couple survive a few years, including this one (d. odora Zuiko Nishiki)
which lived for about 5yrs and got ~2 1/2 ft tall before succumbing to this winter's cold.
The bright pink buds form in the fall and persist all winter before blooming early March.
The one in the garage blooms in February.
It's always cool to see something blooming that time of year.
But even in our mild winters, it never looked lush & happy
and I've decided not to replace it this year.
