Lemongrass Stalk x 3 – Cymbopogon – Ready to Plant

Lemongrass, Cymbopogon – is very easy to grow and doesn’t need much water. Lemongrass will grow in full sun and half-shade. It is a clumping plant that grows very quickly and multiplies from the root. Perfect to plant along the edge as a grass suppressor, to deter mozzies, to grow as biomass for mulch, and of course for tea and cooking.

Planting and growing tips:

1. Leave in water for 24 hours after receiving the stalks
2. Plant in a pot or in the ground in a sunny or half-shade position.
3. Watering straight after planting is essential! From then on as required.
4. It doesn’t like to sit in water so a well-drained position is best. All our edibles grow happily and quickly in slightly raised garden beds.

Planting tips: Lemongrass will grow anywhere. Simply dig a shallow hole, place the stalks in, fill the space around with soil and water it. Remember: the better the soil, the quicker and better your plants will grow. All our edibles grow happily and quickly in raised garden beds.

Eating tips: For tea: the greens can be harvested regularly, dehydrated, and stored in an airtight container. The lower parts – thick stalks, can be cut thinly and used in soups, chicken, and curry dishes.
