Choisya ternata ‘Green fingers’

Description

Choisya ‘Green Fingers’

Choisya ‘Green Fingers’ is an exceptional evergreen shrub, prized for its vibrant dark green foliage giving any garden year-round interest. This cultivar typically reaches heights of 1.5-2 metres with a similar spread, creating a dense, compact form. The glossy, aromatic leaves are deeply cut and finely textured, providing striking architectural interest. During spring and early summer, fragrant white flowers appear in clusters, attracting pollinators and releasing a delightful citrus-like scent when foliage is brushed.

Culturally, Choisya ‘Green Fingers’ thrives in full sun to partial shade, though sunnier positions enhance the vibrant green colouring. It prefers well-draining soil and is relatively low-maintenance once established. This shrub is hardy and tolerant though it appreciates shelter from harsh, cold winds. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushiness. It’s an excellent choice for borders, containers, or as a specimen plant. Good in coastal situations.
