Water: Daphne glomerata requires frequent watering to maintain moist soil, but avoid over-watering. Watering frequency depends on climate, with reduced needs in winter. A helpful method is to check soil moisture by inserting your finger 5 cm (2 in); it should feel damp, not saturated.

Fertilize: Fertilize daphne glomerata in spring and fall using a rich mulch, ensuring it doesn’t touch the stem. If using a fertilizer, select a balanced formula and avoid high acidity options.

Pruning: Daphne glomerata is a deciduous shrub with fragrant flowers. Prune in early spring, removing dead or crossed branches while avoiding heavy pruning to maintain flowering. Regular light trimming promotes bushiness and air circulation. Use clean tools for precise cuts just above a node or bud.

Propagation: Daphne glomerata is difficult to grow, with seed germination taking up to two years. For better success, use semi-ripe cuttings in spring, cutting just above a leaf node on non-flowering stems. After rooting, keep under cover until spring before planting out.
