Mexican Orange Blossom
Care and Propagation
 |
The Mexican Orange Blossom (Choisya ternata) is a fully hardy
evergreen shrub. This is a superb choice of shrub for any size of
garden and requires almost no attention other than a yearly prune
to shape. Choisya trernata Sundance (our recommendation) has
evergreen light green (almost yellow) leaves with the added bonus
of small white flowers that cover it from late Spring to early
summer. Treat it well and it will flower again in autumn. See the
main article under the heading 'pruning'.
Choisya naturally forms a compact attractive dome shape and is
suitable in a mixed border or as a specimen plant in the small to
medium-sized garden. |
