Growing from Seed
Cover seeds lightly. Transplanting is recommended.
Planting Considerations
Limon will do well in containers and in the border where the bright foliage can make a statement. Foliage will brighten under dry conditions, water only in drought conditions.
Harvesting
Harvest when berries have formed (stems will wilt if picked in flower) and stems darken and redden. Leaves are a mild edible.
