10 Rooted Live Plants Lemongrass Cymbopogon citratus Culinary Herb

Lemongrass is a tropical perennial grass grown for its fragrant, citrus-scented stalks, which are a staple in Southeast Asian cooking and a favorite for herb gardens and containers. Each order includes 10 well-rooted live plants ready to establish. These vigorous, clump-forming plants add graceful, arching green foliage and a fresh lemony aroma wherever they grow.
Use the tender lower stalks in teas, soups, curries, and marinades, while the outer leaves can be used to flavor stocks and broths. Lemongrass grows quickly in warm weather, forming dense clumps that can be divided over time. It performs well in garden beds, raised planters, and large containers, making it a practical and ornamental addition to herb plantings or patio displays.
