Mexican Orange Blossom Gold Star A hybrid, scented shrub with vivid yellow colouring, Choisya ternata Gold Star is a medium-sized, fast-growing, evergreen shrub with a rounded habit. The golden emerging leaves are palmate (narrowly hand-shaped) and aromatic. Corymbs of white flowers, scented of orange blossom, appear between March and May, and again in September to October. Mexican Orange Blossom Gold Star is a worthy successor to Choisya ternata Aztec Gold, but may suffer foliage damage in very severe winters. Good in a border against a green or purple background.
