Daphne cneorum (garland flower or rose daphne), is a species of flowering plant in the family Thymelaeaceae, native to the mountains of central and southern Europe. It is a prostrate spreading evergreen shrub to 20 cm (8 in), grown for its dense clusters of highly fragrant pink flowers in spring.[2][3][4] All parts of the plant are poisonous to humans.

The vigorous cultivar 'Eximia' has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[5]
