Description

'White Dazzler' is one of the most prolific flowering varieties of Choisya – a real stand-out plant for year-round interest. Commonly known as 'Mexican Orange Blossom' for its gorgeously aromatic, citrus-scented blooms, the snowy white, star-shaped flowers appear in abundance through April and May, often producing a second, less prolific, flowering from August to September.

This hard-working, evergreen shrub forms a compact and bushy habit with long and slender, almost palm-like, dark green, glossy leaves, offering great structure and colour even when not in flower contrasted against foliage of different shades and form. It makes an attractive feature in beds and borders, and looks stunning as a specimen plant in a pot for your patio, balcony or decking – or even as an eye-catching, informal hedging.

Fully deserving of its coveted RHS Award of Garden Merit, you can be sure that this is a proven garden performer, guaranteed to be suitable for UK gardeners at every level of experience. You can therefore plant this in the garden with confidence, for stunning displays for many years to come.

Choisya 'White Dazzler' prefers full sun but will do well in partial shade. Plant in a sheltered position in fertile, well-drained soil. Growing to approx. 100cm x 100cm in 2-5 years, it is low-maintenance and fully hardy – great for long-lasting performance.

Supplied as an established plant in a 15cm pot ready to plant.

Top Tips
  • Add mycorrhizal fungi to the roots to encourage the plant to establish more quickly.
  • Pair with ornamental grasses for perfect contrast or other dramatic foliage or flowering shrubs such as Chinese witch hazel or purple-flowering magnolia for striking colour combinations.

 

Care Information
  • Pot-grown shrubs can be planted at any time of the year as long as the soil is not waterlogged or frozen. If in doubt, err towards spring, but remember to keep pots well-watered so that the soil does not dry out.
  • For best results, plant Choisya 'White Dazzler' in full sun or part-shade in fertile, well-drained soil, or in a pot for your patio.
  • If planting in the ground, dig a hole twice the width of the rootball. Sprinkle in a handful of blood, fish and bone and work into the ground. If your soil is heavy, add plenty of well-rotted compost to the area and dig it in well.
  • Place the plant into the hole, backfilling so that it is at the same depth as it was in the pot. Fill around the rootball and firm the soil down gently but firmly.
  • Water well and then regularly and deeply until established.
  • Prune established plants in summer, immediately after flowering, to maintain a compact and bushy shape and also to encourage a second flush of flowers in late summer to autumn, removing 25-30cm (10-12in) of the flowered stems.

 

Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
