Product Overview
Lemongrass is a fragrant, fast-growing herb known for its tall, graceful blades and bright citrus flavor. Widely used in Asian cuisine, soups, teas, marinades, and stir-fries, lemongrass adds a fresh lemony aroma without the acidity of citrus fruit. Its upright, fountain-like growth habit also makes it an attractive addition to herb gardens, containers, and patio planters.
