Cymbopogon citratus. Lemongrass is one of the herbs many people don't feel they can grow. However, lemongrass grows easily in containers or in-ground and will grow well even in places with shorter growing seasons. The plant is a tender perennial to zone 9. It can be cut and dried for teas, essential oil, or lemongrass soup. Leaves and stalk have a distinct but soft lemon flavor. Lemongrass essential oil is often used in cosmetics, body care, and aromatherapy. Leaves reach up to one meter long.
Germination was quick but the plant does take a long time to get to full maturity. Start your seeds really early in the season. I love lemongrass. I grow lemongrass for tea. The scent and flavor is amazing
I got good germination rates on the seeds I planted. They're slow growing but they do seem to be growing!
Grew great and survived longer into fall than I expected. Very strong lemongrass smell.
The seeds do take time for germination. I was advised to sow the entire packet early spring, in a plastic gallon milk carton. Around 18 days later some sprouts began to appear. Transplanted later in containers and in ground. I will note that for my zone 10a, the leaves grew taller in the ground (just over 4 feet) than in a 10 gallon container (just under 2.75 feet). They have nice stalks that are half inch in size at the top, to one inch at the bottom, the leaves do brown more with our Texas afternoon sun, nothing a little shade cloth can't help. Easy to maintain, divide and re-plant for never ending harvests.
These are the best seeds! I've tried for many years to grow lemon grass from seed and have never been successful. This year I was determined to try again and I am so glad I did! I am now the proud plant Mom to a 4 foot tall beauty!

This seed germinated beautifully!
I ordered two Natchez Blackberry plugs. If I had known the quality I would have ordered more! There was great care taken into consideration when it came to shipping these live plants. They arrived fully intact with not even a broken leaf. I'm hoping to expand my berry patch with thornless berries. Im tired of the old way of leaving sweat and tears in the berry patch. I'll definitely order more if given the chance.
Trying something I heard about. Planted sweet peas in the extra space around my asparagus. So far, so good.
These San Marzano tomatoes have the most robust stems of all my tomato plants. First time tomato gardener but I have high hopes for this sauce tomato cultivar! I am already rooting a clone because it is doing so well. Can't wait for the fruit!
I took a gamble and purchased 10
blueberry plants from MIgardener this year - I am so beyond impressed with the quality.
I’ve had these in my sunroom since I received them, and haven’t even gotten to repotting them yet. They’re already growing flowers! I will purchase all seeds and plants from MIgardener from now on!!
