Description

A flurry of sweet spring blooms, Pinball Blizzard™ Mexican orange is a standout shrub in the garden. The abundant white flowers pop against the dark, evergreen leaves, and its dense, rounded habit makes it a perfect garden plant. Alternatively, pop it into a container, and it's a delightful patio plant. This warm-climate beauty is native to Texas, Arizona, and Northern Mexico and is a larval host for swallowtail butterflies. Choisya × dewitteana appreciates good drainage, so it should be grouped with other low-water-need plants, such as buddleia. Pinball Blizzard™ Mexican orange was developed by the late, great British plantsman Peter Catt.
