About This Product

Choisya x dewitteana 'White Dazzler', Mexican Orange Blossom Hedging

Sunglasses on: White Dazzler (snyn Londaz) is a stunner. A hardy, aromatic shrub with dense, glossy evergreen leaves that are narrower than other Choisya varieties. They give off a pleasant, basil-like smell when you clip them and the shrub is ideal to plant around a seated area. Left to its own devices, it naturally forms an attractive mound, and will happily grow into an informal, ornamental hedge. It has two flushes per year of white, honey-orange scented flowers, first i April-May and again in August-September. To 1.5 metres

Growing 'White Dazzler' Choisya:

Suitable for any soil with decent drainage, it tolerates light shade, but looks best in full sun. This variety looks like it is hardier than the provisional RHS rating of H4 and has been tested by -17 Celsius winters, covered in snow without damage, so it will be hardy enough for a frost pocket (which tend to be shady in the morning) as long as it gets enough sun. Tolerant of salt, choisyas are also good for coastal locations.

A light trim at the end of the first round of flowers in late May will keep your Choisya in shape and ensure a good second flush.

In the unlikely event that your plants are damaged by a harsh winter, you can hard prune them in Spring.

Spacing a Choisya hedge: 2 plants per metre, 50cm apart, is good: they are naturally bushy and like a bit of room.

They are resistant to most British plant diseases and pests, including Honey Fungus. The only threat should be slugs and snails.

In Your Garden Design

Create your own Sissinghurst white garden by planting this evergreen charmer in a border along with tulips for a spring display or other white shrubs, such as roses, white anemone clematis and philadelphus. The white garden at Sissinghurst in Kent (now National Trust owned) was one of the legendary Vita Sackville West's first creations. She loved one-colour borders and choisya's, with their abundance of flowers, are perfect for this.
