I bought 3 single stalks at the produce store. Rooted them in the window and planted outside. It's been less than 2 years and I've divided then 3 times so far and have 6 large bushes like the ones you first showed and quite a few more about half that size. I make mosquito spray, tea and also every few weeks give them all a haircut and use the dry leaves as laying box bedding for my hens. They also enjoy eating it fresh. I'm I. 9B Florida so they never suffer for cold. The most that happens is the very tips about 2 inches will get brown. We only get 2 nights close to a frost if that a winter. Things grow like weeds here. I keep smaller plants in pots near my porches and doors because I find there are less bugs. Also my monarch butterflies prefer to chrysalis in the leaves for protection. I'm thinking because the bugs don't love the smell.

Thanks! I like to harvest the grass by pulling it out, then cutting about an inch above the root. Use the grass for tea or cooking (you can also freeze it for later) and replant just the root. Works great!

I'll definitely give it a shot next year. Thanks.

Your lemongrass is beautiful. I love making tea with the leaves. I add a little fresh ginger and honey. It makes a phenomenal cup of tea, chock full of antioxidants and other goodies

Thank you! I have 1 plant in my yard and this information will come in handy.

After watching this I really want to try growing lemongrass! Thank you for the information! An Asian friend has often told me about it, it time for me to try this myself! Love seeing Alice on your videos! God bless!

[christinemccoy]

I cut my winter killed leaves in the spring, and use them on the floor of the hen sleeping quarters for mosquito's. I hang in the rafters also, scrunch it, it still smells good. I'm in 8b. It doesn't die here.

Wow, can't believe after so long I've finally stumbled across a permaculture channel in my county! Super excited to grow lemongrass this year, although I didn't realize it grew so densely--I had been considering growing ginger underneath, but will probably grow them in separate areas now. Do you ever do tours of your garden?

[lisawilliams]

Hi can lemongrass survive in partial sunlight as well it seems my tree is taking up some of my lemongrass is light

[minglouie]

does lemongrass spread if planted in the ground?

[brendawilley]

Never grown lemon grass before. Have you & Alice ever created a gardening/cookbook before? If you haven’t, I wish you would. It would be a fun & interesting read!

[clncaaquintero]

Not sure if they will survive winter on the ground in the PNW

Does lemongrass have high water needs?
