I have a small daphne to plant but unsure what they need or like to survive. I've tried growing one before but haven't had any luck. Any hints?

As long as in a semi shady spot and kept moist there should be no problem

At work the biggest and bushiest daphne gets weak filtered light through the trees above and all day. The area isn't damp but its surrounded by other shade loving trees too.

Mine is in a shady morning and sunny afternoon area. It is on a clay bank, dry. Very little moisture. Devastatingly it is growing where the new garage is going, the bush is 20 years old and HUGE

Mine is on the North-Western corner of my house, full sun from about 11am year round, concrete deck on one side of it, pavers on another. garden and lawn on the other two sides. it's the largest I've seen a Daphne bush grow to - over a metre high, about a metre across. one of my favourite plants. the fragrance at my front door is gorgeous.
