Variegated Lemon  (8" x 10"/ sprawling - 12" spacing)
FEATURES: Crushed leaves emit a wonderful citrus scent.  Also an outstanding addition to fish, poultry and vegetables. Makes an excellent garnish. Distinct yellow margins contrast with green leaves during cool weather.
CARE: Integrate into a space filled with light. Prefers a well drained soil and enjoys life in a pot. This hardy evergreen tolerates temperatures into the teens. Propogate from cutting in early summer. Store over winter.
