Choisya White Dazzler® ('Londaz'), Aztec Gold (Hilgold)
Mexican Orange, Mexican Orange Blossom, Mexican Orange Flower
The two small orange trees planted in May are in great shape, despite being planted in Brussels soil, which is a bit to the north. Can't wait for spring to see them bloom.

Description
This pair of small Mexican Orange Trees for borders and pots will delight lovers of fragrant terraces and small gardens. These small bushes that do not exceed 1.20 m in height not only offer a fragrant white flowering in spring and late summer, but also finely cut, aromatic and evergreen foliage in winter, green or golden depending on the plant. They can be planted in large separate pots, used in a small dedicated border, or integrated into a low hedge. These Mexican orange trees are drought-resistant in open ground and cold-hardy, down to at least -15°C.
This pair consists of:
1 Choisya x dewitteana Aztec Gold: a variety with leaves divided into thin golden leaflets, highly fragrant when crushed. Larger than those of the classic Mexican orange tree (Choisya ternata), its pure white star-shaped flowers are deliciously scented.
1 Choisya x dewitteana White Dazzler: a recent variety with a naturally rounded habit, very floriferous, with dark green, finely divided evergreen foliage. Also white flowering, with an orange fragrance.
Mexican orange trees thrive in in warm locations protected from cold winds. They thrive in loose, deep, fairly rich soils that do not become waterlogged in winter. They tolerate limestone well. In the south, avoid excessively hot exposures. To ensure that each plant has enough space, maintain a spacing of 80 cm between each plant.
Plant this pair near an entrance or a pathway to enjoy its delicate fragrance as often as possible. It will also be perfect on the terrace or balcony, planted in a large pot (at least 30-40 cm deep), regularly fed and watered. This pair can be the basis of a small informal hedge, accompanied by Caryopteris ('Heavenly Blue', 'Sterling Silver'), dwarf abelias, or buddleias for pots.

Planting and care
The Mexican Orange Blossom is best planted in spring in the north and early autumn in drier and warmer climates. It appreciates 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 -15°C, but quite sensitive during its early years, especially in heavy and humid soil: lighten your garden soil if necessary with a supply of river sand, gravel or volcanic ash: Choose a warm location, in full sun in cold regions, but partial shade in very sunny and dry regions. If it grows in the shade, under trees, its habit will be looser and its flowering less abundant. Shelter it from cold winds. In summer, during the first years, water regularly if necessary to help the bush establish itself.
Attention: Choisya is sensitive to attacks from Phytophthora, a fungus that attacks the neck of the plant when the soil is both warm and permanently moist; as a result, in hot regions, watering in summer should be spaced out to allow the soil to dry between two abundant water supplies. The Mexican Orange Blossom is an easy-to-grow plant that tolerates competition from the roots of large trees.

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).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
