Lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) is a staple ingredient in Southeast Asian cooking and a wonderfully versatile herb to have on hand. Those thick, fragrant stalks deliver a bright, citrusy flavor that's essential in Thai curries, Vietnamese soups, and countless other dishes—and fresh lemongrass is genuinely superior to anything you'll find dried or jarred at the grocery store. It's also a striking garden plant, with tall, arching grassy foliage that adds a lush, tropical feel to beds and containers alike.

SHIPPING INFO: Herbs primarily ship in May.

 

Why Grow Lemongrass?

🍋 Bright Citrus Flavor: Fresh lemongrass stalks bring a clean, lemony depth to curries, soups, teas, and marinades that dried or jarred versions simply can't match.

🌿 Natural Mosquito Repellent: Lemongrass oil (from its natural citronella content) is a well-known deterrent to mosquitoes, making it a practical herb to grow near seating areas.

🌱 Bold and Low-Maintenance: Once established, lemongrass is a vigorous, heat-loving plant that requires minimal fuss and rewards you with an abundant harvest.

 

Growing Information

🌱 Plant Type: Tender perennial herb (grown as an annual or container plant in cooler climates)

🌱 Plant Height: 3–5 feet

🌱 Hardiness Zones: 9–11 (grown as an annual or overwintered indoors in Zones 4–8)

🌱 When to Plant: Spring, after last frost and once temperatures are consistently warm

🌱 When to Harvest: Once stalks are at least half an inch thick at the base, typically mid to late summer

 

Cultivation Tips

  • Soil: Fertile, well-draining soil with a pH of 6.0–7.0. Lemongrass appreciates a little compost worked in at planting time. Avoid heavy, waterlogged soil.
  • Sunlight: Full sun—at least 6–8 hours daily. Lemongrass loves heat and will sulk in too much shade.
  • Watering: Keep soil evenly moist during establishment, then water weekly, more frequently during extreme heat. Mulching around the base helps retain moisture and keep roots happy.
  • Harvesting: Twist or cut outer stalks at the base when they're at least half an inch thick. Always leave the inner core of the plant intact so it continues to produce. The lower, pale portion of the stalk is what's used in cooking; the upper grassy leaves can be used for teas and infusions.
  • Container growing: Lemongrass does very well in large containers (12–16 inch pots minimum). This is the preferred approach in cooler climates so you can bring the pot indoors before first frost and overwinter in a sunny spot, then move back outside the following spring.
  • In cooler zones: If treating as an annual, plant after all frost danger has passed and give it as long a season as possible. It grows fast in warm weather and can still produce a worthwhile harvest even in a single season.

Our lemongrass is greenhouse-grown and arrives as an established plug in a 3" pot, ready to go straight into your garden or container.

Non-GMO Commitment: At The Farm on Central, all our plants are guaranteed non-GMO and not genetically modified in any way, upholding natural breeding methods and promoting sustainable gardening and farming practices.

Wonderful Body OIl
Size: 3.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I will give this a five star because of overall quality. Even though I REALLY DO NOT LIKE the fact that it stains my sheets after application if I put it on before bed, I really really love the overall quality. The smell is so delicious. It makes my skin so soft and supple-- Vaseline went all out and really was put a lot of thought in for the melanin-rich ladies. It is a great product, I just wish it did not stain so bad, and I wish it came in a bigger bottle. It is quite expensive in my opinion for the size, but it is worth every penny. It has a color similar to the color on the bottle, it is translucent with shimmery glitter all throughout the mixture and it has a great feel when you apply it to your skin. It rubs in like butter and is OH SO moisturizing. I highly recommend if you love feeling moisturized and every inch of you cared for with a body oil. Just don't put it on with a shower before you go to bed and lay down in your bed.

Love it!!
Size: 3.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Love the way this smells and the shimmer; I’m a glitter for every occasion girly, so this helps me be subtle lol. I got compliments on the scent & it was all I had on. A little goes a long way. It’s not super greasy, but def don’t need a lot of it.

honestly, very conflicted
Size: 3.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
the pros: incredibly hydrating, absorbs quickly into the skin, the nozzle turns to lock, leaves me glowing, the price point is good, dispenser doesn't get clogged... the cons: it's not as sparkly/shimmery as i'd expect it. i expected more gold sparkle, i realized that i ended up super hydrated and moisturized with a spec of gold glitter here and there after application. the photos of the product are deceiving. there is an issue with the cap, it never stays on. overall: i do like it for the longetivity and how nice and moisturized it makes my skin feel, but i'll be searching for a product that has more sparkle/shimmer while being equally as hydrating. that's what i want!!
