Choisya ternata GREENFINGERS 'LISSFING'
A choisya with an unusual robust habit, large and abundant flowers gradually changing from pink to white
GREENFINGERS 'Lissfing' is an outstanding variety with an unusual dense habit and abundant flowers. The plant is well-structured with robust branches; the internodes, shorter than in other Choisya, give it a more compact silhouette, with denser foliage. In spring, its abundant, pleasantly fragrant flowers are particularly striking, combining candy pink buds with pure white open blooms. In good weather conditions, this variety can flower again in autumn. Its evergreen foliage has an attractive dark-green tinge. The flowers of GREENFINGERS 'Lissfing' are larger than those of traditional Choisya varieties. It is a hardy plant that can be grown in sun or part shade. Suitable for all fertile soils, it can reach 2 m x 2 m after five years.
This new variety is a hybrid between Choisya ternata and arizonica. GREENFINGERS 'LISSFING' is a result from the hybridisation work led by Peter Catt from Liss Forest Nursery. It is the newest addition to the range that already includes the outstanding varieties: Choisya SCENTED GEM 'LISSBRID' and Choisya GOLD STAR 'LISSTAR'

A golden yellow foliage that brightens the garden all yearGold Star is a new variety of Choisya that has been selected for its beautiful luminous golden-yellow foliage which retains its sheen throughout the year. An additional attraction is its resistance to direct sunlight. The large, fine and elongated folicles bring an extra touch of elegance. It's a shrub with a rounded habit and generous vegetation thanks to its ready branching and the short distance between nodes. It grows rapidly, reaching 2 to 3 m in height.The Choisya, also known as Mexican Orange Tree, are reputed for their exquisitely orange-perfumed flowers. Tiny white blooms spread in corymbs in spring with a second flowering in the autumn.The leaves of Choisya Gold Star will enliven your garden and brighten shady corners. It's equally fascinating to juggle with contrasts by associating it with other shrubs and perennials that have dark green, purple or black leaves.
