Lemongrass, West Indian

Cymbopogon Citratus

Packet Size: 25

Native to southern India, West Indian Lemon Grass is a widely used aromatic herb. The plant grows in dense clumps with the leaves reaching 3’ tall. The entire stalk (bulb and grass) has a light lemon flavor and is used in soups, curries or teas. West Indian Lemongrass is preferred by some over the East Indian variety since it’s larger and more flavorful. Lemongrass is used to help aid in digestion. This tender-perennial grows well in a container.
