About Choisya Ternata Sundance 20 Litre Pot Extra Bushy 40-50cm High

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.

Why Grow Choisya ternata ‘Sundance’?

  • Year-Round Colour – Golden-yellow foliage brightens even the dullest corners.

  • Fragrant Flowers – White blooms in spring (and often autumn) with a delightful citrus scent.

  • Low Maintenance – Hardy, drought-tolerant once established, and easy to grow.

  • Versatile – Works in borders, containers, or as a low informal hedge.

  • Wildlife Friendly – Flowers attract bees and other pollinators.

Planting & Care Guide

Position: Full sun or light shade. Best colour is achieved in a sunny, sheltered spot.

Soil: Prefers fertile, well-drained soil but will tolerate most conditions except waterlogging.

Watering: Water regularly during the first year. Once established, only occasional watering is needed in dry periods.

Feeding: Apply a balanced slow-release fertiliser in spring to encourage healthy foliage and abundant flowers.

Pruning: Lightly prune after flowering to maintain shape and encourage new growth.

Design & Planting Ideas

  • Plant alongside purple-leaved shrubs like Physocarpus for dramatic contrast.

  • Use in Mediterranean-style planting with lavender, rosemary, and grasses.

  • Brighten shady borders with its golden leaves.

  • Position near paths or seating areas to enjoy the flower fragrance up close.

Choisya ternata ‘Sundance’ is a reliable, fuss-free evergreen that delivers colour, fragrance, and structure in every season. Whether used as a cheerful garden highlight or a background evergreen, it’s a plant that will shine year after year.
