Notes
Lemon Grass, East Indian garlic (Allium sativum 'Lemon Grass, East Indian (Cleaned Seed)') is a vegetable for containers, low maintenance gardens, and food gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. Few crops handle cold as well, and with a little winter protection it grows on through light freezes. This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. Deer rarely make it their first choice. The fragrant, erect plants also attract butterflies.
Pairs well with Thai basil, Cajun Belle pepper, and Marmalade coral bells.
