We are all familiar with the classic bay tree lollipop shape standard, but how about a completely different colour option? The fabulous golden yellow leaves of Choisya 'Sundance' (or Mexican Orange Blossom as it is sometimes called due to their small white fragrant flowers in spring), glow bright golden yellow in spring and summer, yet remain neat and tidy too. And they are ever-yellow too - they remain bright yellow all year, even in winter, so offer a real year round feature. Grown on a clear stem of about 50cm, these standard Choisya's are quite unusual, and work really well as a low maintenance feature in pairs either side of a doorway or gate.
Choisya ternata 'Sundance' will make you dance with joy when it produces pure white, scented blooms in the late spring, late summer and early autumn. You won't stop dancing even when the sun disappears behind wintry clouds, for Mexican Orange Blossom's unusual yellow leaves are evergreen, so add a splash of colour to the garden all year round. They look especially stunning against a backdrop of other plants' darker foliage in flowerbeds and borders. As if its aesthetic appeal wasn't enough, this hardy shrub, also known as Choisya ternata 'Lich', is exceptionally tolerant. It can be grown almost anywhere, even in tricky, coastal areas, and clipped into a low hedge or grown as a specimen due to its neat, compact habit. With so many benefits, it's easy to see why Choisya ternata 'Sundance' holds a well-deserved RHS AGM. Height: 2.5m (8'). Spread: 2.5m (8').
