According to Bluestone, Daphne grow from zones 5 to 8. Should be OK in Middle Tennessee zone 7 I guess. (See Frances' comment.) Good luck.<br /><br />Sweet Bay,<br />According to Bluestone: they are "tricky to propogate" and "can only offer this garden beauty occasionally."Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07472642679947517392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31428116.post-33657561054527765452009-04-15T15:37:00.000-05:002009-04-15T15:37:00.000-05:00Ooo, I didn't realize that Bluestone sold Carol Ma...Ooo, I didn't realize that Bluestone sold Carol Mackie. That's supposed to be one of the toughest, for the Middle South anyway.

It does like extra water in our drought ridden summers here in TN. Healthy plants fight off attacks much better than sickly ones.
