Choisya White Dazzler

Choisya White Dazzler is a compact, evergreen shrub with finely divided, slender green leaves and masses of fragrant, starry white flowers in late spring, often with a lighter second flush in autumn. Suited to Irish gardens, it thrives in sun or light shade and performs best in a sheltered spot with well-drained, moderately fertile soil. Its neat habit and scented blooms make it ideal near paths or seating areas; lightly trim after flowering to maintain shape and encourage further blooms.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
