- Choisya ternata is a low maintenance medium-sized evergreen shrub that has a rounded growing habit, ideal for hedging. It boasts vibrant, dark green foliage and fragrant, star-shaped white flowers during the months of May, August and September.
- Choisya plants grow best in full sunlight in well draining soil, but they will tolerate part shade, but the leaf colour will be less vibrant and less flowers will be produced during the flowering season - than those planted in full sun. Choisya ternata are also very tolerant of difficult growing conditions, including coastal gardens.

Watering Water thoroughly after planting and keep the soil evenly moist while the plant establishes. Once established, water during prolonged dry periods rather than little and often, allowing the soil to drain between waterings. Container-grown plants should be checked more frequently in warm or windy weather.
Best Growing Conditions Grow in sun or partial shade in fertile, well-drained loam. Choose a position with good airflow and enough space for the plant to reach its mature size. Mulch after planting and keep the root zone free from prolonged waterlogging, particularly through winter.
