Golden Mexican Orange Blossom Overview
Choisya ternata 'Sundance' is an evergreen mound forming shrub that is frequently chosen for its bright yellow leaves which emit a citrus aromatic oil when crushed. In spring it produces clusters of small white flowers which have a delicate orange fragrance, giving it its common name of Golden Mexican Orange Blossom. This low maintenance plant loves a sunny, sheltered position and needs very little water once established. Lightly clip after the flowers have finished to maintain a pleasing shape and encourage more brightly coloured new growth. This plant is sometimes sold with the names Choisya 'Lich' or 'Choisya 'Brica'
