A LITTLE LOCAL GROWING KNOW-HOW

Help your Lemongrass feel at home.

Cymbopogon citratus

01 · Sun requirements

Find its light

Full sun, at least 6 hours of direct light.

02 · Indoor / outdoor

Make room, indoors or out

Best outdoors in a landscape bed or a suitably large container; not a typical indoor houseplant.

03 · Soil & amendments

Start with good soil

Moisture-retentive but well-drained soil. Blend mature compost through sandy beds and mulch lightly. In pots, use potting mix with bark or perlite for air and drainage.

04 · Water requirements

Water with care

Keep the root zone evenly moist during active growth, with drainage after watering. Check containers often in heat or wind; water when the surface begins to dry. Reduce in cool weather without letting the root ball dry out.

05 · Growing habit

Give it room to grow

Dense, arching grass clump about 2–4 ft tall and 2–3 ft wide; divide or cut back old foliage as needed.

06 · Zones & cold protection

Know your growing zone

Can be grown in zones 9b–11, but frost may burn foliage or cause dieback. Shelter containers and young plants during freezing weather.

Plant size, moisture needs and cold tolerance vary with cultivar, exposure and establishment. Check the root zone before watering; nursery pot size is not mature plant size.
