This question is on Daphne odora aureomarginata
I have had a Daphne Odora for a number of years always flowering profusely around March. Its about two metres in width and a metre high. This year hardly any flowers and some leaves are blackened.What has gone wrong?

Daphnes are well known for suddenly dying. If it is not frost then a massive dose of a systemic fungicide sometimes helps.

It looked a bit sad before the frost-possibly it needs the fungicide. I will try.Thankyou

do you think it could be badly frost damaged, hence the blackening? we did have a warm patch a few weeks ago followed by cold so maybe it started into growth a bit too early and then got nobbled by the frost.
