Here in the foothills our gardens suffer from those winter doldrums. Very little color if any is left in our yards especially this year after our early December snow and deep freeze. Here’s a nice addition to any garden, adds a little bright color and tolerates our extreme temperatures.

Choisya ternate ‘Sundance’ aka golden Mexican Orange has brilliant bright yellow foliage with white summer flowers. Slow growing reaching 4’-5’ tall at maturity. An evergreen that will take partial sun turns yellow in the cooler months and greener in the warm summer months. Feedback from customers is that deer tend to avoid it, nibbling only when newly planted.

A Choisya ‘Sundance’ is a welcome addition to any garden adding that bright splash of color in an otherwise dull and dreary time of year for our gardens.
