(Choisya ternata)
Small white flowers smell like orange blossoms with a hint of gardenia. The evergreen shrub (not a true citrus) reaches 6 to 8 feet tall, and takes sun in cooler climates but part shade elsewhere. Zones 6-9, 14-24.
The Choisya ternata has hybridised with Choisya arizonica to give Choisya 'Aztec Pearl', a popular modern cultivar, which has leaves divided into 3-5 slender leaflets, and flowers which are pink in bud, opening white.
Goes well with: Choisya ternata, Garrya elliptica, Sarcococca confusa, Hedera hibernica 'Sagittifolia', Geranium macrorrhizum 'Album', Galanthus nivalis.
