5 Starter Plugs Lemongrass Live Plant Cymbopogon Sereh Easy Grow Culinary Herb Tropical Garden Patio Container

This set of five live lemongrass starter plugs brings the fresh, citrusy aroma and flavor of Cymbopogon citratus to your garden or patio. Each young plant is well-rooted and ready to grow, giving you a head start on a lush, clumping ornamental herb that doubles as a fragrant culinary staple.

Enjoy lemongrass in teas, soups, curries, and marinades by harvesting the leafy tops and tender stalk bases. These plants thrive in warm, humid conditions and grow beautifully in containers, raised beds, or directly in the ground. With regular watering and full sun, they will form dense clumps that can be divided for even more plants. In cooler zones, bring pots indoors to overwinter and continue harvesting through the year.
