Lemongrass

Latin Name: Cymbopogon Citratus

Lemongrass is a fragrant herb that grows in dense clumps of long, bluish-green leaves, releasing a fresh lemon scent when crushed. Valued for its culinary, medicinal, and ornamental uses, it adds bright citrus flavor to a variety of dishes and can be used fresh, dried, powdered, or as an essential oil. Traditionally, lemongrass has been used to support relaxation, ease discomfort, and promote overall wellness. This pest-resistant, deer-resistant plant thrives in warm, sunny conditions and can even serve as a natural border around more deer-sensitive plants. In colder climates, it grows best in containers that can be moved indoors during frost, providing fresh stalks year-round. Regularly removing dead foliage and keeping young plants weed-free helps maintain healthy, productive growth.
