Native to India, Sri Lanka, Burma, and Thailand, Lemongrass forms dense erect clumps with long narrow green leaves. The strong lemon fragrance comes from aromatic oils present in the leaves and stems. Widely used for tea, Thai cuisine, essential oils, and as a natural insect repellent. A versatile plant suitable for pots, gardens, and large landscaping.

Care guide
