Choisya ternata is a compact and rounded bush that features attractive deep-green leaves and a distinctive fragrance. It is ideal for use as hedging or as a gap filler in the garden, and it is known for its hardiness. During the spring season, Choisya ternata produces clusters of pure-white flowers. It can tolerate drought conditions and prefers well-drained soils. Choisya ternata is evergreen and native to Mexico.

Foliage

This is a general guide. When a plant flowers, fruits and colours up depends on the climate where you live and on the season. If timing matters, please reach out to our team.

Foliage Type

Evergreen plants retain foliage year-round but still shed and replace some leaves gradually as part of their normal growth cycle, rather than losing them all at once.

Deciduous plants shed all their leaves for part of the year (usually in autumn and winter), usually in response to colder temperatures or dry seasons, often producing seasonal colour before leaf drop.

Semi-evergreen plants sit between the two, keeping most of their foliage but losing some or all leaves briefly under cooler or drier conditions before quickly regrowing them.
