Germination Guide
Start seeds indoors approximately 6–8 weeks before the last expected frost or sow outdoors once temperatures remain consistently warm.

Provide bright light once seedlings emerge.
Plant Care Tips
Lemongrass grows best in full sun with regular watering during active growth. Feed occasionally with a balanced fertilizer for vigorous foliage production. In regions with cold winters, grow plants in containers so they can be moved indoors before frost. Trim older leaves as needed to encourage fresh new growth.

Harvest stalks and leaves once plants become well established. Cut outer stalks near the base while allowing the center of the plant to continue growing. Fresh lemongrass can be used immediately or preserved by freezing or drying for future use.
