CHOISYA ternata Sundance (Lich)

Choisya ternata ‘Sundance’ (Lich) is a vibrant evergreen shrub prized for its bright golden foliage and fragrant white flowers. Often known as Mexican Orange Blossom, this variety stands out in the garden thanks to its luminous leaves that bring colour and structure throughout the year. In a garden centre setting, ‘Sundance’ is a popular choice for customers looking for an easy-care shrub that provides year-round interest and seasonal flowers.

Foliage Colour, Flowers & Visual Impact

The most distinctive feature of Choisya ternata ‘Sundance’ is its striking golden-yellow foliage. The glossy leaves grow in attractive clusters, forming a dense and rounded shrub that brightens borders even when not in flower. In spring, and often again in late summer, the plant produces clusters of star-shaped white flowers with a sweet citrus fragrance.

The contrast between the fresh golden foliage and crisp white flowers creates a vibrant and uplifting display that works well in many garden styles.

Key visual selling points:

• Bright golden-yellow evergreen foliage

• Fragrant white star-shaped flowers

• Fresh colour all year round

• Neat, rounded growth habit

• Attractive citrus scent when flowering

In garden centre displays, the bright foliage immediately catches the eye, making ‘Sundance’ an excellent feature shrub for colour-themed displays.

Growing Conditions & Easy Care

Choisya ternata ‘Sundance’ is known for being a hardy and adaptable shrub that is easy to grow in most gardens. It prefers a sunny or lightly shaded position and thrives in well-drained soil. While it enjoys warmth and shelter, it is generally tolerant of typical Irish garden conditions.

Once established, the shrub requires very little maintenance and maintains its natural rounded shape without heavy pruning.

Care and growing advice:

• Plant in full sun or partial shade

• Prefers well-drained soil

• Choose a sheltered position if possible

• Water regularly while establishing

• Light pruning after flowering if needed

A light trim after flowering can help maintain a compact shape and may encourage a second flush of blooms later in the season.
