3. Where is the best place to plant Choisya?

The best place to plant Choisya is in a sunny spot with a well-drained soil. They can also be grown in partial shade, but will flower best in full sun. Choisya are tolerant of some wind, but it is best to plant them in a spot that is protected from strong winds. Make sure you leave enough room for your Choisya to grow!

If you are planting Choisya in a container, be sure to choose one that is large enough for it to grow and make sure you use a well-draining potting mix.

4. What is the difference between Choisya Aztec Pearl and Choisya ternata?

Choisya ternata 'Aztec Pearl' is a cultivar of Choisya ternata, also known as Mexican Orange Blossom. It is a compact, evergreen shrub with finely divided, fern-like leaves and clusters of fragrant white flowers in spring and summer. Choisya ternata, on the other hand, has trifoliate leaves and can grow taller and wider than 'Aztec Pearl'.

5. Is Choisya the same as mock orange?

Choisya, also known as Mexican orange blossom, is sometimes referred to as mock orange because its flowers are similar in shape and scent to orange blossoms. However, Choisya is not closely related to true mock oranges, which are members of the genus Philadelphus.

Choisya is a genus of evergreen shrubs native to Mexico and Central America. It is known for its glossy, dark green leaves and clusters of fragrant white flowers in spring and summer. Choisya is a popular choice for hedges, borders, and foundation plantings.

True mock oranges are members of the genus Philadelphus and are native to Europe, Asia, and North America. They are also known for their fragrant white flowers, but they typically have a more upright growth habit than Choisya.
