This description was machine-translated.
Description
Lemongrass brings the fresh lemon aroma of Southeast Asian cuisine into the garden, seasoning curries, soups, and tea. This tropical sweet grass is not winter-hardy and thrives best in a pot that can be placed outdoors during summer.
Care instructions
Keep lemongrass in a large pot on a sunny, warm spot and water it generously, as it is very thirsty. Harvest whole stalks close to the ground and use the tender lower stem parts. Overwinter it in a bright place at a minimum of ten degrees Celsius, then it will regrow vigorously the following spring.
