Mexican orange blossom

Product Image
This relative of the popular Choisya ternata has cheerful, bright yellow, glossy young evergreen foliage and produces clusters of white flowers in late spring. This dome-shaped shrub is ideal for a mixed or shrub border in light shade, where the leaves become a more subtle yellow-green.

How to care for Choisya ternata Sundance ('Lich'):

Plant Sundance in a lightly shaded spot, conditioning the soil with well-rotted compost and some mycorrhizal fungi to aid root development. Prune established plants in spring immediately after flowering, removing 25-30cm (10-12in) of the flowered stems. This encourages a second flush of flowers in late summer and autumn. At the same time remove any frost-damaged stems to the base.
