East Indian Lemon Grass

This is the tropical Lemon Grass which grows from a bulbous base native to the East Indies and Southeast Asia. It is an important addition to many Thai and Indian dishes such as curries and soups. The plant is a tender tropical perennial and must be protected from any freezing temperatures. A great Lemon Grass for growing either as a houseplant or in a heated Greenhouse. This variety has a superior flavor for culinary use. This plant multiplies readily and will form a large clump over time in warm and moist conditions! Enjoys some shade in very hot climates, plenty of humidity and fertile soil. Tropical perennial. Hardy to Zone 11.
