Cymbopogon flexuosus, commonly known as East Indian Lemongrass, is a captivating addition to any garden or home! Native to Southeast Asia, East Indian Lemongrass is renowned for its invigorating lemon scent and striking appearance. This perennial grass thrives in USDA zones 9 to 11, forming elegant clumps with arching, narrow, and vibrant green leaves that can reach heights of up to 5 feet. Ideal for sunny spots, it flourishes in well-draining, sandy loams and brings a fresh, citrus aroma to your garden, while its lemon fragrance naturally repels deer.

Perfect as a statement plant in mixed borders or large containers, East Indian Lemongrass is versatile enough to grow as an annual or to be potted and brought indoors during colder months. This ornamental grass also serves a dual purpose as a culinary herb. Its fibrous stalks enhance soups, stews, and curries with a citrusy flavor, while its essential oils contribute to a variety of teas and natural remedies.

Lemongrass is easy to maintain, needing medium water and regular fertilization for best results. Its natural resistance to rust compared to other lemongrass varieties ensures a low-maintenance addition to any collection. Enhance your herb garden with this fragrant, multipurpose plant, a staple in Asian cuisines and a modern gardening favorite. Whether you're a novice gardener or an experienced enthusiast, East Indian Lemongrass promises a touch of elegance with every sway of its lush, aromatic leaves.
