Product Description
1-Lemongrass Rootstalk. Save time and take out the guess work of starting Lemongrass. Our Lemongrass Stalks have roots and are ready to plant! This pungent grass is rich in a substance called citral, which is said to aid in digestion as well as relieve spasms, muscle cramps, rheumatism headaches and even bad moods! Lemon grass is a favorite in teas & as the lemon scent in many products including soaps, perfumes & candles. Can be grown as an unusal houseplant when put in a bright sunny location. No sunny location inside? Potted Lemongrass can be grown with the assistance of a grow light.When planted outdoors it is hardy to Zone 9, where it will go dormant in the mild winters, & could eventually reach about 9 foot tall. In colder climates it needs to be taken inside during the winter & it only reaches about 3 foot or so tall.Lemongrass needs plenty of water and full sun for it to do it's very best. When bringing it inside in the fall, cut back to about 8 inches tall. Store in a cool part of the home & reduce the water to a minimum & it will go dormant. Later in the winter the Lemongrass will start to show signs of new growth, move it to a warm sunny window & resume normal watering. Replant in the ground after all danger of frost has passed.
