How To Grow

Excellent pest and disease resistance

Generally disease free. Can be affected by slugs and snails. Keep the area around the plant debris free and as dry as possible, especially at night as slugs and snails love damp conditions. You can use barriers such as crushed egg shells, grit or copper wire to surround the plant - these will prevent slugs and snails from reaching the leaves.

Full sun to partial shade

Choisya flowers best in full sun, but will be fine with a little shade.

Any fertile, well-drained soil

Prefers well-drained soil that is also fertile. Mix in plenty of organic matter such as quality garden compost along with perlite if your soil is particularly clay-heavy or waterlogged. Avoid very alkaline soils which will give the plant a nutrient deficiency.

Prune lightly

Pruning Group 8 - After flowering, pinch back young plants to encourage a bushy habit. Lightly trim or cut back to maintain the plant's shape.
