Wonderfully scented, star-shaped, white flowers appear in late spring among glossy, aromatic, dark green leaves.
This handsome, compact and easy-to-grow shrub is a valuable garden mainstay for a protected site in sun or part shade, although in shade Choisya ternata may not flower.
The glossy, evergreen leaves provide an excellent backdrop for medium-sized perennials and pale-grey or purple foliage plants.

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.
