Lemongrass is an interesting and useful addition to the herb garden especially if you like Thai or Vietnamese cuisine. The long, slender, pale green stems of the lemongrass have a unique fragrant lemony tang. Once germinated this quick growing herb can be used fresh, dried or frozen.
This very attractive plant looks great in a pot or in a mixed bed as an ornamental grass. This tender perennial must be grown in warm weather or inside a greenhouse and must not be exposed to frosts.
| When to Sow | January to March indoors or under glass. |
| Where to Sow | Sow on the surface of moist compost and cover with a very fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. |
| Place the seed tray in a propagator at a temperature of 20-25C (70-75F) or seal it inside a polythene bag. | |
| Keep the compost moist but not wet. | |
| Do not exclude light as this aids germination which can take from 21-40 days. | |
| What to do Next | When seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant and grow them on in cooler conditions until large enough to plant outdoors. |
| Harden off over 7 to 10 days outdoors when lemon grass plants are well grown and all risk of frost has passed. | |
| Plant lemon grass outdoors in a warm, sunny and sheltered spot at 30cm (12in) apart in moist, well drained soil. | |
| Alternatively grow lemon grass plants permanently in 25-30cm (10-12in) containers in a warm greenhouse or conservatory. | |
| Harvest | All year round once established. |
| Handy Tips | Keep lemon grass plants well watered throughout summer and provide an occasional liquid feed. |
| Harvest individual stems of lemongrass when required by snapping them off at the base of the plant. | |
| To over winter, lift the plants in early autumn, pot up and grow through the winter in a greenhouse with a minimum winter temperature of 7C (45F). Keep the compost just moist throughout winter. | |
| Companion Planting | Grow with tomatoes and peppers |
| Nutritional Information | A good source of the minerals Folate, Iron, Manganese and Potassium. |
| Serving Suggestion | Lemongrass is best known for its use in Asian cuisine, especially Thai and Vietnamese. It can be used in salad, sauces and stir fries. |
