Daphne. Does not like summer water. It seems like a rhody so you have a tendency to water it, but they will die if overwatered in summer. I have killed many in pots. But I never give up. This last year I got one called Eternal Fragrance. It is not an odora, it has done beautifully in pots,even over winter, actually thrived and flowers almost year round. Give that one a try if you have trouble with them. Not only lives but flowers a lot more, a good thing as Martha would say...lol.
Brown Boronia. Why did you have to mention that? I have killed it twice at least. And mine was from overwatering. But I have learned the brown one is hard to grow. I have the yellow flowered one and its thriving. Not as fragrant and not as pretty but ALIVE. I am done with the brown but will try again some of the pinks.
I have the most exotic fuchsias, some are 10 feet tall with long, huge flowers. I have been putting my "mothers" in 5 gallon pots. The smaller ones I will have to toss this winter. Cannot have the whole area full of huge fuchsias. I will keep and do cuttings on the mothers. I hope the hydrangea woman is also a fuchsia person, seems the 2 often go together then I can make a sale on both. If she is not. perhaps I can influence her....
