Choisya ternata is a garden staple for a reason. This versatile evergreen forms a lush, dense mound of aromatic, trifoliate leaves that look polished and healthy throughout the year. In late spring, it produces a spectacular display of star-shaped, pure white flowers with a fragrance remarkably similar to orange blossoms. A second, often lighter flush of blooms typically arrives in late summer or autumn, extending the sensory interest.
This is a tough, reliable shrub that works equally well as a standalone specimen, an informal flowering hedge, or part of a mixed border. Its foliage releases a pleasant citrus scent when crushed or brushed against, adding another layer of appeal to pathways or patio areas. While it is quite adaptable, it performs best when protected from the harshest winter winds. To ensure a strong, deep root system, we recommend using Rootgrow when planting. To maintain the glossy green leaves and support its repeat-flowering habit, regular feeding is essential.
