Lemon Grass

Cymbopogon citratus

Lemongrass is a tall, aromatic grass that thrives in warm, sunny climates and is known for its refreshing citrus fragrance. Frequently used in Southeast Asian cuisine, its tender stalks add a zesty flavor to soups, teas, and curries. This fast-growing plant prefers moist, well-draining soil and benefits from regular trimming to encourage new growth. Aside from its culinary uses, lemongrass can also be grown as a natural insect repellent. Its ornamental foliage makes it a beautiful and functional addition to herb gardens, patio containers, or even as a border plant in sunny landscapes.
