Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This cultivar of the famous Blood Orange produces a purple-red fruit inside that is amazingly sweet even when ripened under less than optimum light levels. The fruit coloration is more uniform when grown as a container plant, not needing the extremes in temperature differential that other Blood Oranges require. It blooms in late winter and spring with fruit ripening in fall and winter. Perfect for the potted indoor garden. Give full sun and fertilize during the warm months. Under cool temperatures and low light, be sure to allow the soil to dry between waterings; this will keep the root system vigorous. This is a grafted plant that will bloom and fruit sooner.
