This collection of Mexican Orange Blossoms will create the evergreen structure of an informal hedge or a large shrub bed in not too cold climates. These elegant shrubs, attractive even in winter, offer a beautiful white flowering with the scent of orange blossom between March and May, and often a second, smaller flowering in late summer. Their foliage is pleasantly aromatic when crushed in a color ranging from glossy dark green to golden green depending on the plant. These relatively hardy Mexican orange blossoms are drought-resistant when planted in the ground. They are also perfect against the wall of a house.
The collection consists of:
1 Choisya ternata: a botanical species native to Mexico, quickly forming a large bush, reaching 2 metres in all directions. Its leaves are divided into 3 wide, very bright, shiny green leaflets. At the end of the branches, compact clusters of small flowers with 5 white petals appear, loved by pollinating insects.
1 Choisya ternata Sundance: a brighter variety than the previous species, with foliage that is yellow in spring and then tender green. Its flowering is the same.
1 Choisya 'Aztec Pearl': a hybrid with magnificent finely cut, light green foliage, with white flowers tinged with pink in bud and delicately scented. The shrub reaches the same dimensions as the previous two. Its growth is slightly slower.
The Mexican orange tree is hardy down to -12/-15°C. This shrub likes loose, well-worked, deep, rich soil that is not too wet in winter and summer. It tolerates the presence of limestone. Keep a minimum spacing of 1 metre between two plants. To create a maintenanace-free, 2-metre tall evergreen hedge, plant these three Mexican orange trees alternating with Lisarose Laurustinus, Compact Elaeagnus, Photinia Devil's Dream, and Apple Blossom Escallonia. You will have a permanent green screen that flowers almost all year round.

Botanical data
The Mexican Orange Blossom is best planted in spring in the north and early autumn in drier and warmer climates. It likes light, loose, well-drained soils. It tolerates the presence of limestone in the soil, but not in excess. Once established, after 2 or 3 years of cultivation, it is capable of surviving without watering in summer. It is resistant to -12°C but quite sensitive during its early years, especially in heavy and wet soil: lighten your garden soil if necessary with river sand, gravel or volcanic rock. Choose a warm location, in full sun, in cold regions, but partial shade in very sunny and dry regions. If it does grow in the shade, under trees, its habit will be looser and its flowering less abundant. Shelter from cold winds. Water regularly in summer during the first years if necessary, to help the bush establish itself.
Attention: Choisya is sensitive to attacks from Phytophthora, a fungus that attacks the base of the plant when the soil is both warm and constantly moist therefore watering in summer should be spaced out to allow the soil to dry between two abundant water supplies in hot regions. The Mexican Orange Blossom is an easy-to-cultivate plant that tolerates competition from the roots of large trees. For an informal hedge, use one plant every 60 to 80 cm.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
