Citrus limon. Swirls and blobs of creamy white marble the lemon-scented leaves of this Eureka sport. New growth is burgundy with pink edging, almost like a variegated fuchsia. Each leaf is unique, with three different shades of green as background for the creamy marbling. Wow! The young fruit also show off stippled creamy stripes over the green rind. The pulp is pink, hence the nickname 'Pink Lemonade.' Like most variegated plants, 'Variegated Pink Lemon' is a little less vigorous than its forebears, so it's grown on semi-dwarfing rootstock to provide more growth in its early years. Over 2' tall, in 4" x 9" containers. OUT OF STOCK UNTIL SUMMER 2012. |
