versicolor orange is sweetly frgrant even on cloudy days,none will be fragrant during the day(sunlight).I root cuttings in a glass of water,works great.They like neutral to slightly acid soils.Feed weekly in summer and make sure the soil isn't too sandy or you will be forever watering them. :-) Plant out of the prevailing winds in your area, and give as much sun as possible for the most blooms.In pots give them a large pot to keep them stable on breezy days.These will grow at least 6 feet tall in a pot and even taller in the ground.I have had plants get 12 feet in 30 gal pots.
Suaveolens do best in high heat and humidity, versicolors do better in cooler temps.Aureas and its hybrids do better in medium to warm temps.
