A low, suckering evergreen, allied to D. pontica, native of Asia Minor and the Caucasus region. Flowers very fragrant, creamy white, ageing to pink; they are borne in axillary clusters, but owing to the crowding of the leaves near the ends of the shoots, appear to be borne in dense terminal heads – hence the specific epithet glomerata.
This species, said to be one of the most beautiful of the daphnes, is difficult to grow and rare in cultivation. Young plants of this species are in cultivation, raised from seed collected in Turkey by Cheese and Watson (seed number 2390) and by Mathew and Tomlinson (seed number 4356). Mr Eliot Hodgkin tells us that the late A. G. Weeks cultivated this species successfully in a peat-bed.
