Great for Asian dishes!
An essential herb for Asian cuisine, the leaves and stems of lemon grass can be used fresh or dried to impart a distinct lemon flavor. It also makes a wonderful ingredient for hot teas. This clump-forming perennial resembles an ornamental grass with its aromatic cane-like stems arising from a central base. The lemon-scented, linear, strap leaves reach 3 feet long, falling over at the tip. Lemon grass thrives in moist soil and full sun, growing 3 to 5 feet tall. Grow in containers so that the plant can be moved indoors during winter. Pkt is 100 seeds.
