Description:
Low mounding lemon-scented soft shrubs such as Lemon Bun™ are perfect around the rim of small ponds or along winding pathways; great too as lightly trimmed container specimens. The small bright green lemon-scented leaves are covered in spring & summer with lime - cream flowers. These are highly attractive to butterflies and birds. Hardy in a range of climates from cool temperate to sub tropical, in moist clay or sandy loam of neutral to low acid pH. Will tolerate medium frosts. Lemon Bun™ lends itself to low formal hedging, but trimmed as a ball or as a cube in containers, it will give a new dimension in courtyard settings.
