Notes
Limequat (Citrus floridana) is a fruit for borders, containers, 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 plant leafy all year. It can reach 47 to 94 inches tall and wide.
Pairs well with Guava, Genovese basil, and Tabasco Hot Pepper.
