Lemongrass - Potted Plant

Lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) is a fragrant, clump-forming herb that adds both tropical beauty and culinary flavour to the garden. Its tall, graceful leaves release a fresh citrus scent when brushed, and its stems are prized for use in teas, marinades, and Asian cooking.

At Oasis Cottage, our lemongrass plants are potted and ready to plant, perfect for adding structure and texture to herb gardens, borders, or large containers. In Canterbury, it thrives best in a warm, sheltered, sunny position and can be overwintered indoors or in a greenhouse to protect it from frost.
