AGM Award

Showy year-round, Choisya ternata ‘Lich’ SUNDANCE (Mexican Orange Blossom) is a very handsome, rounded, evergreen, dense shrub with aromatic, glossy, chartreuse to golden yellow foliage. A profusion of fragrant, star-shaped, pure white flowers bloom from late spring to early summer and often intermittently throughout the summer and/or in the fall. Rich in nectar, they are greatly appreciated by bees and butterflies. Both flowers and leaves have the divine fragrance of orange blossoms. Almost as vigorous as the species, SUNDANCE is one of the most popular selections.

  • Awarded the prestigious Award of Garden Merit by the Royal Horticultural Society
  • Grows in a rounded medium-sized, shrub up to 4-8 ft. high (120-240 cm) and wide.
  • Easily grown in fertile, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. Best with the morning sun and some protection from the hot afternoon sun. Provide a sheltered location, protected from cold winter winds.
  • Drought tolerant and rabbit resistant
  • Great for wall-side borders, shrub borders, hedges, city gardens, or even containers.
  • Virtually disease free, this plant may be affected by glasshouse red spider mite or by snails
  • Propagate by semi-hardwood cuttings
  • Prune stems immediately after flowering to encourage an additional rebloom
