Daphne cneorum, the garland flower or rose daphne, is a species of flowering plant in the family Thymelaeaceae, native to the mountains of central and southern Europe. It is a prostrate spreading evergreen shrub to 20 cm (8 in), grown for its dense clusters of highly fragrant pink flowers in spring.[2][3][4] All parts of the plant are poisonous to humans.[5] In cultivation it requires a sheltered position in full sun or partial shade. It is not completely hardy in exposed locations.
The Latin specific epithet cneorum comes from the Greek and means “like a small olive bush”.[6]
The vigorous cultivar 'Eximia' has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[7]
