This is a fab new choisya, and the first of its kind to have bicoloured, pink and white flowers. Like its close cousins, it retains its leaves throughout the year, but these are much finer than many of the others, which gives the plant a more delicate appearance.

The flowers of Choisya × dewitteana Apple Blossom appear in mid- to late spring, emerging pink from deeper pink buds, but as they mature, the colour fades to white. This often produces a two-tone effect on the flower cluster. Its overall shape is compact too, with quite an upright silhouette, so perfect for pots or smaller gardens.


  • Garden care:
    Plant in a lightly shaded spot, conditioning the soil with well-rotted compost and some mycorrhizal fungi to aid root development.

    Prune established plants in spring immediately after flowering, removing 25-30cm (10-12in) of the flowered stems. This encourages a second flush of flowers in late summer and autumn. At the same time remove any frost-damaged stems to the base.
