Choisya Apple Blossom

• A stunning new hybrid with delicate fine foliage
• Dark green leaves
• A profusion of scented pink and white flowers in spring
• Any well drained soils, not suitable for very exposed situations
• Possibly better in partial shade
• Hardy to -18°C in my garden

Choisya is often referred to as Mexican Orange Blossom due to the pure white flowers, however Choisya Apple Blossom is the first bi-coloured Choisya with stunning pink and white flowers.

In spring masses of pink buds appear which open into white flowers. The soft shades of pink and white will give a rustic, romantic feel to any garden. C. Apple Blossom has a lovely fragrance which attracts butterflies and bees.

The dark green leaves are retained throughout the year and the cultivar has a finer leaves than either C. ‘Aztec Pearl’ or C. White Dazzler, giving the plants a more delicate appearance. The overall compact shape makes it ideal for a smaller garden.
