Kaffir Lime Dwarf

The Kaffir Lime Dwarf is a compact and highly aromatic citrus variety, prized for its unique, bumpy green fruit and fragrant, double-lobed leaves. The fruit’s rough, oil-rich skin is perfect for zesting and adding a citrusy twist to dishes, while the leaves are a staple in Southeast Asian cuisine, imparting a fresh, lemony aroma to soups, curries, and stews. This dwarf variety is ideal for small gardens, patios, or container growing, offering a steady supply of both leaves and fruit throughout the year. The Kaffir Lime Dwarf thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it an excellent choice for home gardeners and culinary enthusiasts seeking a versatile and flavourful addition to their collection.

As recommended by the Swiss Rose Garden Nursery.

  1. Dig a hole 60cm wide and 60cm deep. If the topsoil is usable, separate it from the sand as it can be re-used in the hole. When planting roses in an existing rose bed or where roses have been previously grown during the last 5 years, the soil must be replaced.
  2. Mix together a mixture that contains 2 parts topsoil, 2 parts compost, 1 part manure or buy a Soil Improver, Landscaping or Rose Soil mix from a Landscape supply place. About 100 litres per planting hole is recommended.
  3. A layer of manure can be placed at the bottom of the hole and then the hole filled with the above soil mix.
  4. Place one handful of slow-release fertilizer at 20cm depth from the top where the roots of the newly planted rose will be situated.
  5. Soak the soil thoroughly and lightly compact.
  6. Now plant the rose in this mix with the surface of the plant even with the surface of the prepared area, e.g., the graft union should be about 5 to 10 cm above soil level.
  7. Water every day for the first six months from October onwards, up to 10 litres per day during warm weather is recommended for strong deep root development.
  8. Plant roses 1m to 1.2m apart.

Enjoy the beautiful roses!
