How to grow mezereon or February daphne (Daphne mezereum)
| February – March. Purple flowers till 1,2 cm, very aromatic in long inflorescences born before the leaves. |
| Water it abundantly to recreate the conditions in which it grows in natural state: under the trees and rocks until the 2600 m. |
| For flowerbeds under other trees or humid rocky places, especially for the reddish fruits that mature in summer. These are very toxic. |
| Sun or demishade. |
| From cuttings or layers. |
| Fertile soil well drained. The soil should not be removed not to affect the roots. |
