Citrus limon Lemon (Pot Size 5L) Lemon sold by Boma Garden Centre

Citrus limon is prized for its intensely fragrant white flowers, which appear throughout spring and summer, followed by ripening bright yellow lemons. The glossy evergreen foliage is attractive in itself, with small dark green leaves that remain ornamental year-round.In the UK, grow this tender citrus in a warm, bright conservatory, greenhouse or south-facing patio in summer. Position in full sun with good airflow. Soil must drain freely; use loam-based compost with added grit. Water when the top of the compost feels dry, but never allow it to dry completely.Feed with balanced citrus fertiliser three to four times during the growing season, particularly once small fruits begin to form. Bring the pot indoors before the first hard frosts, or provide protection if left outside in mild southern areas. Occasional frost damage to new growth is possible.
