After the leaves have sprout, the blossoms of the small-leaf lime appear, which smell strongly of honey. The flowering period, which begins between June and July, provides bees and butterflies with enough food even in the middle of summer.

The small-leaved lime does not flower for the first time until it is 10 years old

First flowering of the small-leaved lime

The small-leaved lime forms flowers for the first time at the age of 10-20 years. Even in a suitable location and with good care, the flowering period occurs earlier in very rare cases. On the other hand, the small-leaved lime blossoms very luxuriantly, so that the blossom can be seen from afar and its pleasant scent can be perceived.

Late flowering of the small-leaved lime

About two weeks after the small-leaved lime, the small-leaved lime begins to open its inflorescences:

  • Individual flowers are arranged in 5-7 (max. 12) in hanging panicles,
  • the petals are yellowish-white,
  • the flowers are monoecious and hermaphrodite
  • large number and pleasant fragrance.
