How many times does Daphne odora bloom in a year?

1. How many times does it bloom?

Daphne odora blooms once a year. Its buds will grow around November in autumn and will bloom in March or April in spring. If you want it to bloom earlier, you can increase the temperature appropriately so that it will bloom earlier than usual. Its flowering period is closely related to the climate, so the flowering period varies from year to year. If the temperature is lower, the flowering period will be delayed.

2. Flower shape

Its flowers are relatively small, the outside of the flower is a lighter purple-red, while the inside of the flower is flesh-red. The calyx is tubular, only about 6-10mm long, and the bracts are lanceolate, 5-8mm long. The filaments of the Daphne koreana are 0.7mm long, and the anthers are about 2mm long and oblong.

3. Post-flowering care

After the Daphne osmanthus blooms, it needs to be pruned. You should find a pair of scissors to trim off the withered flowers, and the flower branches also need to be slightly shortened. If you are reluctant to throw away the pruned flower branches, you can propagate them by cuttings, so that you can get a new pot of plants.
