Choisya ternata, commonly known as Mexican Orange Blossom, is a highly attractive and versatile evergreen shrub prized for its fragrant white flowers and glossy, aromatic foliage. The lush, dark green leaves are divided into three leaflets, giving the plant a tidy, elegant appearance year-round.
In spring, it produces a profusion of sweetly scented blooms that resemble orange blossoms, attracting bees and other pollinators to the garden.
This hardy shrub thrives in a full sun position but will also tolerate part shade. It prefers a well-draining soil and benefits from mulching and spring fertilising to encourage strong growth. Choisya ternata is drought-tolerant once established—just allow the soil to dry out between waterings and provide extra water during extended dry spells.
Easy to maintain, it responds well to pruning after flowering and can be cut back hard to maintain dense, compact growth. With regular care, it can be kept neatly trimmed to around 1m x 1m, or allowed to grow to its natural size of up to 2m tall and wide. Perfect for hedging, borders, or as a fragrant feature plant in any garden.
