Care Tips for Your Lemon Tree

Plant in well-draining soil and add quality compost or citrus-specific fertiliser in spring and summer. Water regularly, especially through dry spells, but don’t let the roots sit in soggy soil. Need some vibrant companion planting? Try pairing with striking perennials like Kniphofia 'Lemon Fizz' to create eye-catching colour echoes and attract pollinators.
