Tangut daphne displays a hardy and forthright character with its simple, glossy foliage. The leaves are leathery, with a deep green hue, each spanning 1-3 inches (2.5-7.6 cm) in length. In a grand display, tangut daphne reveals clusters of fragrant flowers nestled at the terminals. These blooms brandish a charming purple-pink on the exterior, while the interior is a delicate white brushed with a pink tinge. Post-blossom, the plant produces bright red drupes, which serve as a beacon to birds, encapsulated in a dense cluster approximately 3 inches (7.6 cm) across. This plant thrives in the generous light of full sun to the dappled shade, favoring moist, well-drained soils.
