Flowering Choisya

Two shiny green-leafed Choisya shrubs dominate the Island Bed. Some years they'll flower in autumn as well as spring, and I've taken many basal cuttings from them to grow new shrubs.

Some gardeners consider Choisya rather boring. In New Zealand they are used a lot in council planting schemes, and a local McDonalds' drive-thru uses Choisya shrubs for a hedge. But I've also seen them used by exclusive garden designers in private gardens in Paris... If they're easy to grow, then that's a good thing - isn't it?
