Choisya
'Tiny Dancer'
Mexican orange blossom
Neat, fragrant and quietly full of character, Choisya 'Tiny Dancer' is a Mexican orange blossom made for gardens where shape matters as much as scent. This evergreen shrub naturally forms a tight, ball-shaped mound, keeping a smart outline without demanding constant attention from the secateurs. Its aromatic green leaves bring year-round freshness, releasing a bright, citrusy fragrance when brushed. In spring and again through summer, Choisya 'Tiny Dancer' produces clusters of star-shaped white flowers, each one sweetly scented and beautifully set against the glossy foliage. Compact but far from forgettable, it offers structure, perfume and polish in one tidy little package.
Perfect for the front of a border, a low hedge, a courtyard pot or a pair of planters beside a doorway, Choisya 'Tiny Dancer' brings an easy sense of order without looking clipped or severe. Give it a sheltered spot in sun or partial shade and well-drained soil, and it will settle into its rounded form with admirable good manners. As a Mexican orange blossom, Choisya 'Tiny Dancer' has that lovely Mediterranean feel, yet its compact habit makes it wonderfully useful in modern and cottage-style gardens alike. Low-maintenance, evergreen and generously fragrant, Choisya ternata 'Tiny Dancer' proves that small shrubs can still lead the dance.

Plant profile
Plant calendar
Check each plant’s specifications. Hardy perennials can remain outdoors, while half-hardy and tender varieties should be kept frost-free until the risk of frost has passed.
Plant within a month, preferably sooner. Choose a suitable position, remove weeds and loosen the soil thoroughly, adding compost or well-rotted organic matter where needed.
Gently remove the plant from its pot and plant with the root ball level with the soil surface. Firm gently, water well and add a plant label.
Water regularly until established and whenever the soil feels dry during spring and summer. Feed container-grown plants fortnightly during active growth to encourage healthy flowering.
