Cymbopogon citratus (Lemon Grass) — a robust, fragrant perennial grass prized for its citrusy scent and versatile uses. Bright, arching blades form dense clumps reaching 2–4 feet, producing long, lemon-scented stalks perfect for culinary use, teas, and aromatherapy. Thrives in full sun with well-draining soil; bring indoors or protect in colder zones as it’s frost-sensitive. Low-maintenance and drought-tolerant once established, it also makes an attractive border or container specimen. Harvest stalks as needed; cut back in early spring to encourage fresh growth. A must-have for edible gardens, cottage-style landscapes, and anyone who loves fresh citrus fragrance.
