Tried & tested by Sarah
Super productive variety
Easy to grow
The mix of soft lime and gentle orange-peach makes this a super-versatile flower which seems to go with almost everything
An exciting new cut flower and container filler and a new addition to the ‘Queeny Lime’ series, which thrive in our damper, greyer climate. This came out top in our trials last summer along with ‘Queeny Lime Red’ (a favourite now for two or three years).
