Lemongrass is an annual here in Tennessee. It has long, slender, pale green stems that are thick and fleshy. We just love the wonderful flavor this herb adds to soups, curries and stir-fries. Additionally, they can be used in patio, etc. plantings to help provide a natural repellent for mosquitos! Just in case you don't know, when you participate in the America's Gardens "We Know The Dirt" Garden Growing Club, you receive THREE outdoor vegetable plants for the price of TWO! That's three healthy & happy strong mix and match varieties (bringing exquisite season long color to your home) on sale. Talk to one of our peeps at the garden center; they'll know how to get you started. If you're buying on-line, just register for the club on-line so you don't miss the savings.
