Choisya. Ternate (Mexican Orange) Forms a neat rounded bush with evergreen leaves. White flowers appear in May and then occasionally throughout the summer. The blooms and the leaves are fragrant. The common name ‘Mexican Orange’ is based on the flowers being similar to those of the closely related Orange, both in shape and scent.
Height can be up to 1.5M with a similar spread. Enjoys full sun or light shade. The only drawback of this delightful shrub is that it may be damaged by heavy frosts.

I have a question about propagating Salvia leucantha – Mexican bush sage. We have some beautiful plants now that attract our honeybees, the main reason for planting them. Now we want to plant them everywhere! Can you tell me the best way to do that? Thanks for your time and help.
Hi and lovely to hear from you. Propagation for Salvia leucantha – Mexican bush sage is by seeds in early spring with bottom heat to help germinate. Or by softwood or tip cuttings in summer and grow on under glass through winter. Not sure of your location, in the UK these plants are classified as tender so would need a little pampering over winter ( for cuttings). Hope this helps, take care, Jules.
