Plant information:

Cymbopogon citratus 

Sow: January to March
Harvest: July to October
Height: 90cm

Essential in eastern cuisine and is also a decorative grass. Native to sub-tropical climates so it will struggle in a British winter. Grow either as an annual or in pots that can be moved indoors.

Sowing Instructions:

Lemongrass seeds are best started under cover early in the year. We start them in seed trays (available here) from early January, then pot on into 7cm pots, and again into 9cm before thir final position in larger pots in late spring/early Summer.

The seeds need heat to germinate. Usually the warmth of a sunny windowsill is enough, or use a heated propagator if you have access to one.

Growing instructions:

Keep soil moist, but not too wet and feed frequently.

Notes:

Really not as difficult to grow as you'd imagine. Can even be grown on the windowsill!
