About This Variety
Meet This Variety
Lemon (Citrus limon) fits a seed-grown planting in kitchen gardens. Establish it in full sun with moderately fertile, well-drained soil for a balanced start.
Sow after the growing medium is prepared and within the recommended germination range. Water moderately and prevent the soil from becoming waterlogged around young plants, then thin crowded seedlings so the remaining plants have room and airflow.
