Lemon Grass

Lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus)
Lemongrass is a tall, aromatic ornamental grass and culinary herb known for its citrus-scented stalks and upright, fountain-like form. Commonly used in cooking, teas, and tropical-inspired gardens, it adds both fragrance and structure to the landscape. Its lush green foliage creates a strong vertical accent in beds, containers, and edible gardens.

Thrives in full sun and prefers well-draining, fertile soil. This is a tropical, aromatic herb, and fast growing ornamental plant that performs best in warm conditions and adds both visual and functional value to garden spaces.

Maintenance Tip:
Water regularly during the first growing season and keep soil consistently moist for best growth. In colder climates, treat as an annual or overwinter indoors. Cut back older stalks to encourage fresh growth, and divide clumps every few years to maintain vigor. Fertilize lightly during active growing season for best performance.
