Notes
'Eureka Pink Variegated' lemon (Citrus limon 'Eureka Pink Variegated') is a fruit for containers, borders, accents, and food gardens. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 9 and warmer, down to about 20°F (-7°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. The fragrant flowers attract bees, and the evergreen leaves keep the dense plant attractive all year.
Pairs well with Tiger fig, Purple Ruffles basil, and Bible hyssop.
