Choisya Plant Border

This is the Choisya corner of the Island Bed. When the Choiysa is in flower I love it, then at other times I decide it's taking up too much room. One old diary entry mentions a plan to march straight outside and dig it up. It's still there, and has survived some severe prunings.

 The texture contrasts are really appealing in this garden area.

In the photograph below, from the archives, you can see that the status of the Choisya shrub hasn't changed much. A couple of strict pruning sessions have had little overall effect.

 The shrub Choisya has a citrus smell.
