Daphne modesta
a wonderful low deciduous shrub from a small area in the province of Yunnan and western Sichuan in China. Aged about 30 cm high. Pretty numerous sulfur- yellow flowers with 5 petals. My 10 year old mother plant has now grown to a 18 cm high , strongly branched shrub, and stood in a winter covered cold frame and survived the icy February 2012 ( - 25 ° C) without damage. In dry winter this species seems to be hardy. 2-3 year-old seed growing plants! PH 6.5 / GOC 1a / b / c / hs - s
