Growing Lemon Star
Plant it in full sun. It prefers moderate water. It is hardy in USDA zones 10–11. Expect it to reach about 8.2 ft tall and 3.3 ft wide at maturity, in roughly 1 year.
When to plant Lemon Star
Lemon Star sits in a nearly frost-free range (zones 10 to 11): plant it in the cool season, fall through late winter, and let the mild months settle its roots. On the calendar that means October or November, or January or February. Once settled, it blooms from June to October.
Month-by-month timing for your zone is on the planting calendar: for the middle of its range, start with zone 10 in January.
