Key Features:
Growing & Care Guide
- Soil: Choisya thrives best in free draining soil such as sandy loam or light garden soil.
- Light: Plant in full sun to part shade. Brighter positions encourage heavier flowering, while part shade keeps foliage rich and glossy, making it ideal for courtyards or shaded garden edges.
- Watering: Water regularly during the first full growing season to establish a deep root system.
- Fertiliser: Apply a slow-release fertiliser in early spring to support new growth and flowering.
- Maintenance: Lightly prune after flowering to shape the plant and maintain density. Choisya responds well to trimming, but heavy pruning should be done gradually over a season to avoid shock.
- Flowering: Flowering occurs in Spring.
