Daphne odora Aureomarginata - no leaves

adamadamant

I had a gift of a new Daphne plant after my old one, about 15 years old, gave up the ghost.  I planted this in about October with some fresh compost around the rootball.  The specimen I was given had quite sparse leaves on but I figured it might recover when it went into its growing season.  I have had flowers, but a few more leaves have fallen off.  They look pretty healthy though.  I still wonder whether it might recover now the flowering season is over, but is there anything I can do to help it along?  I did plant it in the same place as the previous Daphne, but there was a bit of a gap, several months before the new plant went in and as I said I did incorporate some fresh compost.

I don't grow them @adamadamant, but I'd say it's only just settling in if it was only planted in autumn

Could be you're right.  I'll let the flowers die off, then give it another boost of compost or seaweed extract.  Thanks Fairygirl
