Space individual plants 24 inches apart. You can grow lemongrass in ground or in a container.
Before planting, add some general purpose fertilizer and some compost to the soil.
Provide consistent moisture and water when the top one inch of the soil is dry.
Lemongrass grows best in very warm temperatures, so do whatever you can to provide that such as planting near a heat-retaining and reflective wall and/or planting in pots so that the roots are warm.
Lemongrass is not frost tolerant, so if you don’t harvest this year, you must bring the plant inside for the cold months.
Harvest lemongrass when the stalks are a half inch wide at the base.
PLEASE NOTE: The plants on my farm table have NOT been hardened off. They are straight from the greenhouse.
You can do one of the following:
1. Expose them gradually to outdoor conditions over a week
-OR (as I do)-
2. Plant them immediately and give them protection from excess sun, wind, and rain for a week or two.

Lemongrass
East Indian

Aromatic grass from India.

A delicious addition to soups, curries, teas, and any other dish calling for lemongrass. 6–12 stalks per plant, depending on growing climate.

The young lemongrass plants that I am offering were grown from seed planted in late February. (Johnny’s Selected Seed)
