Lemon Grass Plant (Hybrid, Pack Of 2)

Bring home this set of two aromatic Lemon Grass plants, a perennial sedge widely appreciated for its culinary and medicinal uses. Native to tropical and sub-tropical regions, this fast-growing plant forms dense, tall clumps of long, green leaves, lending a refreshing, lemony fragrance to your space. It is a vital ingredient in Asian cuisine and is traditionally cultivated across many parts of India, including Kerala, Karnataka, and Assam, adapting well to warm, humid conditions.

Key Features

• Aromatic Leaves: The long, strap-like leaves exude a strong, pleasant lemon-like scent when crushed, making it an excellent natural air freshener and insect repellent.
• Culinary Use: The bulbous stem bases and leaves are widely used to impart a citrusy flavor to teas, soups, curries, and other dishes.
• Vigorous Growth: The plant grows in dense clumps, with stout, erect culms reaching up to 1.8 meters in ideal conditions. It multiplies through underground rhizomes.
• Flowering Habit: The plant is primarily grown for its leaves and stalks. While it can produce a long spike-like inflorescence, it typically flowers inconspicuously and rarely when grown in containers or as an annual outside its native tropical zone.
• Versatile Plant: Can be grown both in the ground to create an imposing garden specimen or in containers, which is ideal for portability and moving indoors during colder spells.

Care Tips

• Sunlight Needs: Place your plant in a location that receives full sun, ideally at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for the best growth and oil production. It thrives in warmth.
• Soil and Drainage: Use well-drained, fertile soil, such as a sandy loam, for planting. Ensure that water-logged or excessively calcareous soils are strictly avoided to prevent root rot.
• Watering: This tropical plant prefers consistent moisture. Water regularly, keeping the soil evenly moist but not saturated. Established plants in the ground need watering during dry spells.
• Feeding: During the main growing season (typically spring through summer), container-grown plants benefit from a monthly feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer to encourage strong growth.
• Winter Protection: Lemon grass is sensitive to frost. In regions that experience cooler winters, it is best to grow the plant in a pot so it can be moved indoors to a warm, bright spot before temperatures drop significantly.
