Citrus × limon variegata is a variegated lemon grown for cream-edged green foliage, fragrant citrus blossom and decorative striped young fruit that matures toward yellow. The patterned leaves give this lemon year-round visual interest, while the evergreen crown and aromatic character stay recognisably lemon-like. Grow it in very bright light, in a free-draining citrus substrate with measured watering after the upper layer has begun to dry. Warm sheltered conditions suit active growth, followed by bright, cool overwintering above about 5°C with reduced watering.
