Lemongrass is a tender perennial grass in the Cymbopogon genus. This tropical grass is native to Southeast Asia. 

Lemongrass grows in a clumping habit, with multiple stalks emerging from the same base. It can grow up to five feet tall with a spread up to four feet wide. The plant’s upright arching shape and attractive green leaves will add interest and texture to your garden. The most prized part of this plant is the stalk’s tender inner core, which develops once stalks grow to be at least half an inch in diameter. 

This perennial plant has been used around the world for both culinary and medicinal purposes.
