This beautiful, high altitude daphne is known as the Nepalese Paper plant and is one of the earliest flowering shrubs in the Himalayan Garden.
It is also among the most fragrant; the pink buds opening to clusters of white flowers, which have a strong, delightfully sweet scent.
In Nepal, the fibrous inner bark of this shrub is traditionally used to make ‘Lokta’ – a handmade craft paper used for notebooks, official documents, sacred texts and a ranger of paper products. ‘Jaqueline Postill’ is a very fine form for gardens, with larger flowers and evergreen or semi-evergreen foliage.
It was raised as a selected seedling in 1982 by Alan Postill, plant propagator at the Hilliers Nurseries, and named after his wife.
