Description
Choisya ternata boasts glossy, dark green leaves that are aromatic when crushed, adding a sensory experience to your garden. In spring, and often again in late summer or early autumn, this shrub produces clusters of star-shaped, white flowers with a delightful citrus scent, reminiscent of orange blossoms.
Growing to a manageable height and width of about 2-2.5 meters , it’s suitable for small gardens, borders, or as part of a mixed shrubbery.
This plant is drought-tolerant once established, and it thrives in well-drained soil with full sun to partial shade. It’s also generally pest and disease resistant, making it a hassle-free addition to your garden.
Care Tips:
Light pruning after the first flowering flush can help maintain its shape and encourage a second bloom. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system. Reduce frequency once established. Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in the spring to promote vigorous growth and abundant flowering.
