Tough as nails with a beauty that belies its ability to tolerate all sorts of mean landscape conditions, Lemon Drop® will be a bearer of bright, sunny color all summer long. Its stocky, upright, almost woody stems clothed in narrow, light to medium green leaves are more than strong enough to hold up its 1.5 to 2″ diameter, four petaled, lemon-yellow flowers once they start their mass display of color in late June. As pleasing as the summer sun, this blast of lemon garden flavor continues well into August without a moment’s rest. Lemon Drop® loves full sun and is very easy to grow making it the kind of plant you’ll want to group to concentrate its blooming power and make the whole garden look alive. It loves full sun and well drained soil while being drought tolerant, deer tolerant and tough enough to put up with sandy, rocky soil once established.
