Choisya × Dewitteana Goldfingers (‘Limo’) (PBR) | 2L Pot

Golden foliage and scented flowers. Position: full sun or partial shade Soil: fertile, well-drained soil Rate of growth: average Flowering period: April to May and occasionally again in August Hardiness: fully hardy Forming a bushy, rounded dome that offers year-round interest, this evergreen shrub is laden with slender, golden foliage. The leaves are at their most luminous when they first emerge (and they will become greener in shadier spots), but they still offer a bright shot of colour, and therefore can be used either as a focal point, or as an accent in a sea of green. In late spring and early summer, small creamy white flowers appear, and these have a sweet perfume that drifts through the air – so try to plant it near a seating area or pathway if possible. Garden care: Prune established plants in spring immediately after flowering, removing 25-30cm (10-12in) of the flowered stems. This encourages a second flush of flowers in late-summer and autumn. At the same time remove any frost-damaged stems to the base.
