Further Information

You'll see our recommended planting densities for each size and root type listed in the product grid. We suggest that you use these as a guide, taking into consideration how long you're willing to wait to see your finished hedge. As a rough indication bare roots can be planted at anything from 3 to 7 per metre and cell grown between 4 and 6 - the higher densities here would need to be planted in a double staggered row or zig-zag.

For more information on planting distances please see our planting density advice section.

Pruning Advice

Mexican Orange Blossom or Choisya Ternata requires little in the way of pruning, although stripping out older dead wood and weak shoots around June will help promote strong new growth. Shorten stems by 10-12in after flowere to encourage 2nd flush.

Choisya ternata Hedge Plants Description

Choisya ternata is recognised for its beautiful, star-shaped white flowers that blossom in mature plants during May. Choisya ternata isn't shy of producing an abundance of flowers, transforming your garden into something more spectacular and inviting. Sometimes, Mexican Orange Blossom can produce a second flush of flowers in late summer/autumn if the stems are cut back by about 20/30cm after flowering in May. For the rest of the year, the glossy dark green, evergreen foliage is beautiful.

Choisya ternata flowers and thrives in a full sun position although it will tolerate partial or light shade. If placed in a semi-shaded position, the plant may not flower as prolifically as in full sun. Ideally plant in a sheltered spot in well-drained moist soil. Mexican Orange Blossom will grow in most soil types as long as they don't become too wet or too dry for a sustained period of time.

Aside from the stunning white flowers, another variety of Mexican Orange produces gorgeous golden-coloured, star-shaped flowers.Choisya ternata 'Sundance (Golden Mexican Orange Blossom) is available to buy from Hedges Direct. Both varieties of Mexican Orange Blossom look attractive mixed together or planted alone.

If Mexican Orange Blossom has inspired you to plant more colourful, flowering hedges in your garden, please take a look at our flowering hedge plants on our website or contact us today on 01257 263 873 or email helpdesk@hedgesdirect.co.uk.

What are root types?

Root types explained.

Bare root
Field grown, bare roots are young plants that are only planted when they are dormant, from autumn to spring. We lift bare root plants and despatch them during the season but they can be pre-ordered in summer. As they are cheaper to grow, they are one of our most affordable hedge planting options.
Pot grown
Pot grown plants can be planted year round and make a convenient option. They come in a wide range of sizes, from 10cm to 2.5m so they're suitable for the majority of planting requirements.
Root ball
Also field grown, root ball plants are scooped out of the ground using machinery to keep their root system intact and wrapped in bio-degradable, hessian sacks. They are mature plants that provide dense coverage very early on, ideal for when you need a thick hedge quickly.
Instant
Grown in troughs or bags that measure 50cm-1 metre in length and carefully clipped during the growing season. Our instant hedging troughs create a dramatic, instant hedge effect.
