Choisya Ternata Mexican Orange Blossom

Choisya ternata, commonly known as Mexican orange blossom, is a compact, evergreen shrub renowned for its fragrant, star-shaped white flowers that bloom in spring and often again in late summer. Typically growing to a height and width of 1.5-2.5 meters, it has glossy, dark green leaves composed of three leaflets, which emit a citrus scent when crushed. The plant thrives in well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade, displaying good drought tolerance once established. Its lush foliage and abundant, fragrant blooms make it an excellent choice for hedges, borders, and ornamental plantings. Mexican orange blossom is beloved for its low maintenance and year-round garden interest.
