Choisya ternata ‘Sundance’ – Golden Foliage and Fragrant Blooms for Year-Round Cheer

Choisya ternata ‘Sundance’ is a vibrant evergreen shrub that brings instant sunshine to the garden, whatever the weather. Its golden-yellow leaves glow brightly in spring and summer, gradually maturing to a rich chartreuse, providing a bold splash of colour in mixed borders, contemporary planting schemes, or as a standalone feature.

In late spring, clusters of star-shaped, citrus-scented white flowers appear, contrasting beautifully with the warm foliage. Often, a second flush follows in early autumn, extending the season of interest. The glossy leaves release a pleasant scent when crushed, adding another layer of sensory enjoyment to this plant.
