The fragrant Lemon Grass plant (Cymbopogon citratus) has been grown for centuries in Southeast Asia. There it is used to enrich and perfume soups, stir-fries, rice and other culinary dishes. Sure, you can sometimes buy it in your local specialty grocery store - if they have it this week. But like most edibles, store-bought can't hold a candle to homegrown!
An unusual addition to herb and kitchen gardens, Lemon Grass is also an ideal landscaping grass in growing zones 9 through 11 where it can remain a tender perennial. Growing around 2 feet tall, add softness and fine texture to landscape beds, containers or even patio and balcony gardens in the sun.
Harvest the fresh leaves to flavor fish, sauces, and even for tea. Traditional seasonings and herbs for Thai and Vietnamese dishes! Even the stalks can be used like bay leaves. Whether you are a cook or not, this is a great addition to any modern garden - big or small. If you need a quick filler, Lemon Grass is a sure bet!
Planting and Application:
Not only is Lemon Grass a great addition to your kitchen garden, but it is a fantastic ornamental plant for your beds, borders and containers. Great bright green filler and fine texture for patio pots and planters, but also soft elements and fragrance around seating areas.
Lemon Grass is perennial in tropical zones and an annual everywhere else. Don't let that deter you from getting it, though. It grows quickly and will add instant beauty wherever you put it. It does fine in the ground all summer. Just dig it up, pot it and bring it indoors to vacation by a bright sunny window for the winter.
