Lemongrass

One 2 year old plant in 4.5 inch deep pot.

Lemongrass is a tall ornamental grass that is sensitive to cold weather but loves our hot Arkansas summers. You can grow it in the garden or in a large pot. I use lemongrass to make green curry and tea. The yummy lemon flavor has no substitute!

LIGHT PREFERENCE: Full Sun. It likes the heat

SOIL REQUIREMENTS: Garden loam (but its grown in a variety of soils in our yard)

PLANT HEIGHT: 2-4 feet

PLANT SPACING: 1-2 feet depending on clump size

HARVEST: Cut just above the soil. We use the bottom portion and remove the grass top.
