You can request
a “Hold Order” for Hardy Perennials and we will ship them
when it’s planting time in your zone. Otherwise, Hardy
Perennials can be kept in a cool or cold spot like an unheated
garage, cool cellar or outbuilding. Cover the pot and soil
with insulating material (burlap, clean rags, newspaper) and
check the soil every 2-3 weeks to make sure it doesn’t dry
out completely. In the spring, plant as soon as the ground
is open and no longer frozen. Dormant plants can endure
freezing temperatures in the spring as long as the plant
remains dormant without any green buds.
Variagated Calamondin Orange (Citrus x citrofortunella mitis ‘Variegata’)
Detailed Description
Variagated Calamondin Orange (Citrus x citrofortunella mitis ‘Variegata’)
The famous ‘Calamondin’ orange has beautiful cream and green variegated foliage making it a very desirable ornamental fruiting plant. But don’t be fooled, the small, juicy, sour oranges are also edible, and are often used for preserves or cooking. Fragrant flowers appear spring to summer and a heavy set of fruit follows, ripening in time for the holidays. The ripe fruit holds well on the plant adding to its decorative show. The variegation does slow its growth a bit but makes it more desirable for container culture.
Hardy to Zone 9 and higher for outdoors.
Full sun, grows to 1-3’ in container, minimum temperature 50°, blooms in spring and summer.
