rooftop

[zaheer]

I am currently growing roses and a pygmy date palm on my rooftop and want to have more plants... please suggest some pretty flowering perennials suitable for growing on rooftop here in karachi.... pot size will be 10 inch and my roof gets 5 hrs to 9 hrs of direct sunlight at different spots... some spots get morning, some get afternoon sun and some the whole day ...

Hibiscus, Canna, Amaryllis, Corotons, Dwarf pomegranate, Kamini, Lemon, Gaillardia, Vinca etc etc

Is the lemon tree grown from seed better or the ones available at the nurseries..are they he same or not????

[Izhar]

Lemons grown from seeds are less likely to bear fruits and are susceptible to disease.. the plants sold at nurseries are grafted ones and are a better option..

[UMARKHANMARDAN]

Zaheer Izhar is right seed grown lemon are not good producers.clearly speaking they do not come true to the type from seeds.so purchase grafted or laired plants.

izhar bhai.. are u talking about dwarf lemons or the common lemons available at approx all nurseries..??can these also be planted in pots??

[Izhar]

The common round lemon can be easily grown in large pots with good yield too...
