Notes
'Snow Dragon' hardy orange (Citrus trifoliata 'Snow Dragon') is a shrub for food gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun. Its small leaves mix green with white and cream, and every leaf is different. The white flowers are fragrant, and yellow to light orange fruit about the size of a golf ball may follow. It grows slowly, so it also does well in a container.
Pairs well with Apricot, Serviceberry, and Evelyn rose.
