Description
Choisya ternata 'Scented Gem' is a beautiful evergreen shrub, prized for its abundant fragrant white flowers and neat, compact growth habit. This improved variety offers exceptional flowering performance and a refined shape, making it perfect for modern gardens and smaller spaces.
In late spring, the plant produces masses of star-shaped white flowers with a strong, sweet citrus fragrance. A second lighter flush of blooms may appear later in the season, extending its ornamental value. The flowers are set against glossy, bright green foliage, which remains attractive all year round.
With its naturally dense, rounded form, 'Scented Gem' is ideal for borders, low hedging, patio containers, and formal planting schemes. It provides year-round structure combined with seasonal bursts of fragrance and colour.
Hardy and easy to grow, this versatile shrub thrives in sunny or partially shaded positions and performs well in most well-drained soils, making it a reliable addition to a wide range of garden styles.
Supplied at 30–40cm in height in a 5L pot, this well-established plant is ready to deliver fragrance and structure to your garden.
