Description
Great pastel lemon calceolaria for the border.
We released our own strain of this wonderfully large flowering border Calceolaria in spring 2019. Its a real delight and eyecatcher with its thick stems leading to large cluster heads of pastel lemon flowers raised high over large lemon foliage. This once established is hard to damage as survived even the harshest environments we could throw at it. We recommend placing in the border or large alpine rock garden. We have also had great success in containers although it will out compete other plants. A real joy to have for sale.

Excellent, strong, healthy plants. Lemon Drops proved to be the hardiest of my Calceolaria collection through this last, challenging winter.

Absolutely perfect! Well thought out eco packaging. So pleased they us DPD for deliveries – the best. The flowers were in great condition, some already flowering. The staff were incredibly helpful when I changed my mind on one of the plants. My first purchase buying plants on-line and it was a brilliant one. Thanks so much 🤩
