Mexican Lime Bush

The Key Lime Bush is a compact, bushy form of citrus tree that produces the world-famous Key Lime. Renowned for drinks and cooking, it is also called Mexican lime and Bartender’s lime. It has evergreen leaves, fragrant white flowers tinted with purple and small green fruits that pack the most incredible lime juice there is. It can be grown in the ground in hot zones, and in a pot everywhere, keeping it outdoors in the summer and indoors in the winter.

Grow the Key Lime Bush in full sun when outdoors, and in a bright, cool place when indoors. Feed and water regularly outdoors, but keep drier through the winter months.
