Choisya ternata, commonly known as Mexican Orange Blossom, is a versatile evergreen shrub native to Mexico, prized for its attractive appearance and pleasant fragrance. It features glossy, dark green leaves that emit a citrus-like aroma when crushed, and in late spring to early summer, and sometimes again in autumn, it produces clusters of fragrant white flowers. Popular in gardens and landscapes, it is used as a hedge, specimen plant, or in mixed borders. Thriving in well-draining soil, it prefers a sunny to partially shaded location and is relatively low-maintenance once established, making it a favored choice for adding beauty and fragrance to outdoor spaces.
