Citrus are not hardy in Britain, they are best grown in pots outdoors in summer then brought back inside for winter. The UK environment best suits growing lemons and kumquats are the most cold tolerant. Fragrant flowers can appear all year round, but are especially abundant in late winter, which can bring some welcome colour and aroma to any indoor space. The fruits ripen up in around 12 months later, so citruses often flower and fruit at the same time.
