Notes
Caucasian linden (Tilia euchlora) is a tree for specimen planting and low maintenance landscapes. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This tree likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. Its pale yellowish-white flowers are fragrant and attract bees and butterflies. It is also drought tolerant, so it handles dry spells well.
Pairs well with Hardy blue-flowered leadwort, Grape hyacinth, and Bluebell.
