How to grow West Indian Lemongrass
West Indian Lemongrass is a warm season full-sun crop that grows and performs similar to chives. Sow directly or start seedlings indoors for later transplanting. Once your lemon grass is established, you can easily pull rooted stalks and plant them to multiply your crop.
This tropical grassy, bright green, perennial plant is a key ingredient in Asian cuisine.
Germination 7-10 days
Start seeds indoors, on a heating mat or atop of the fridge, cover with plastic wrap, keep seeds moist at 68 degrees with plenty of light.
Once the seedling appears, remove the plastic, keeping the seeds moist but not soaked.
When soil temperatures maintain 70 degrees, transplant seedlings into patio pots, or in the ground.
Ready for use in 90-100 days.
Lemongrass has fresh, lemony scent, which is why is it widely used in fragrances and soaps.
For culinary uses, try it in soups, marinades, salad dressings and of course stir-frys! Plus it freezes well!
