Lemon Grass lemongrass

Garden uses

Notes

'Lemon Grass' lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus 'Lemon Grass') is an annual for the food garden and for use as an accent. This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil. It belongs to the grass family and grows as a clumping plant. Plant it where the clump has room to widen, and use it to add a fountain of narrow leaves to a bed or container. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal.

Pairs well with Lemon verbena, Sugar Snap pea, and Artichoke.
