Daphne x transatlantica 'Summer Ice'

Summer Ice daphne

  • Dense, rounded form
  • White and green foliage
  • White flowers starting late May
  • Spicy fragrance
  • Waves of bloom until frost
  • Deer resistant
  • Great as a specimen or in groups

This dense, rounded shrub will never be overbearing in the landscape, except in the beauty department where it will demand attention throughout the growing season. New foliage on this plant, that may stay semi-evergreen in warmer climates, emerges in early spring narrow and deep green with an irregular border of shimmering white that gives it an icy haze throughout the season. White flowers appear in late May and add a spicy fragrance to the garden and will be a frequent visitor through the summer since sporadic waves of bloom continue until frost. Plant 'Summer Ice' in full sun or partial shade and be prepared to fall in love with this little specimen that is versatile enough to look great planted in groups, too.
