Needs light to germinate, do not cover seeds Native to Malaysia and India, lemongrass (Cymbopogon flexuosus) is a popular herb-like grass used in Southeast Asian cuisine. Lemongrass is a fragrant perennial plant that thrives in warm climates and offers a lemony flavoring to dishes. Lemongrass can grow up to 5 feet tall, either planted in pots and kept indoors in cooler climates or grown outdoors in subtropical or tropical regions. Lemongrass is easy to grow from seed, requiring no special pretreatment in order to germinate. Plant the seeds between late January to March.An essential herb for Asian cuisine, the leaves and stems of lemongrass can be used fresh or dried to impart a distinct lemon flavor. It also makes a wonderful ingredient for hot teas, and is attractive enough to grow simply as an ornamental in patio pots or in the sunny garden.This clump-forming perennial resembles an ornamental grass with its aromatic cane-like stems arising from a central base. The lemon-scented, linear, strap leaves reach 3 feet long, falling over at the tip. It is a honeybee magnet, and a useful addition to any garden friendly to butterflies, bees, and other wildlife.Lemongrass thrives in moist soil and full sun, growing 3 to 5 feet tall within a single season. The seed germinates in 7 to 14 days, and the plant reaches a good size for picking about 3 months later. If you begin the seeds indoors, transplant the young plants at about 6 inches high.Lemongrass is hardy only in zones 8-11, so if you live north of its range, you may want to grow it in containers, where it can be brought to a bright, frost-free location for winter. Quite long-lived, it will fulfill all your culinary needs for many seasons!GenusCymbopogonSpecies flexuosusZone9 - 11HabitUprightPlant Height3 ft - 5 ftPlant Width24 in - 3 ftAdditional CharacteristicsBloom First Year, Easy Care Plants, Edible, Evergreen, Flower, Fragrance, Herbs, Indoor Growing, Rose Companions, VariegatedFoliage ColorBlue Green, OrangeLight RequirementsFull SunMoisture RequirementsMoist, well-drainedResistanceDrought Tolerant, Heat TolerantSoil ToleranceNormal, loamy, SandyUsesBeds, Border, Containers, Cuisine, Foliage Interest, Hedge, Ornamental, Outdoor
