Flax-leaved daphne thrives in partial shade with well-drained, moderately moist soil and benefits from a sheltered position in the garden. Water regularly during the growing season but avoid waterlogging, as root rot is a common issue. All parts of this plant are highly toxic, so handle with care and keep away from children and pets.
