$0.00

Lemongrass Lemon Kist™ grows to approximately 1 metre tall, with densely tufted, aromatic clumping stalks. The arching leaves are a pale blue-green colour. A semi-hardy perennial that goes dormant in winter.

Foliage is cut before fully mature, the tender white part of the stalk is added to dishes, and the remainder can be used for stocks, dried or a cuppa of tea. Harvest is in summer and Autumn.

When growing in containers, provide adequate water and fertiliser (general NPK) to maintain a more tender freshness for the foliage.
