Perfume Princess - Plant of the year.JPGNew Daphne Perfume Princess® Awarded "Plant of the Year"
Our new Daphne Perfume Princess® was awarded the prestigious honor of Plant of the Year at the 2016 Australian Nursery and Garden Industry Association’s National Conference, held in Adelaide, South Australia.
"Over the years the awards program has continually evolved, requiring much more
from the entrants. This is principally due to the changing industry environment and
the subsequent demands put on businesses. Their conscious choice to strive for
best practice, sound management, exciting marketing and uncompromising green
life quality is particularly commendable," says Mike Mehigan, President of Nursery & Garden Industry Australia.
Garden guru Don Burke reveals on the TV Program, "A Current Affair", that this is the best plant to hit the Australian market in 50 years.

Called the Daphne Perfume Princess, it was bred by New Zealand plant breeder Mark Jury.
During springtime, pretty pink flowers stem from the robust shrub and scent the garden with a perfume, hence the nickname: the Perfume Princess.
It grows best in frost-free conditions, in sun or semi-shade. Once the plant is established, it requires only occasional attention and should only be pruned lightly.
Daphne Perfume Princess is not just any ordinary daphne!
Daphne Perfume Princess is a unique and enchanting daphne that should be on everyone’s list of ‘must have’ daphnes. It’s the earliest and longest flowering of all daphnes, with one of the sweetest fragrances, and is prized for its profusion of large blush pink (softly fading to white) sweet perfumed flowers. This is not just any ordinary daphne! Daphne Perfume Princess™ offers a progression of large blooms along the stem making it a perfect choice to bring cuttings indoors and enjoy the alluringly sweet perfume. It is an excellent performer with upright and slightly spreading attractive evergreen foliage. Positioned in the garden near a window, doorway or path, the sweet scent will add fragrance to your home and garden. Daphne Perfume Princess™ flowers from winter to late spring and is perfect for containers and in the garden.
