Choisya, commonly called Mexican Orange Blossom, is an evergreen shrub prized for its glossy, aromatic leaves and fragrant white flowers. Blooming in late spring and often again in autumn, the star-shaped flowers exude a citrus-like scent, bringing a touch of the Mediterranean to the garden. The foliage, which can be deep green or golden yellow depending on the variety, adds a luminous, year-round presence that’s perfect for brightening borders, patios, or urban spaces. Choisya’s neat, rounded shape makes it a natural choice for informal hedges, foundation plantings, or as a stand-alone feature.

Known for its resilience, Choisya tolerates a range of conditions, including light shade and urban pollution. It’s an excellent option for adding fragrance, colour, and evergreen structure without demanding extensive care, making it a favourite among both novice and experienced gardeners.
