Description

Choisya 'Aztec Pearl' is an evergreen bush with a rounded shape and beautiful, delicate foliage.

 

Also known as the Mexican Orange, this small-sized bush reaches a height and spread of 2m (6.6 ft); it is as wide as it is tall!

Its branches bear palmate and compound aromatic leaves, composed of 5 digitate leaflets that are light green in spring and turn dark green later on.

Abundant in late spring, its white flowers are tinged with pink and are delicately scented. If conditions are favourable, the plant will bloom again in autumn. Easy to grow, Choisya 'Aztec Pearl' likes sun and rich, well-draining soil. It is hardy, but should be planted in a sheltered spot in regions with cold winters.
