Clovers Garden Large Lemongrass Plants - Mosquito Repellent, Edible Medicinal Herb

Grow a Beautiful Garden with Lemongrass!

Lemongrass plants (cymbopogon citratus) provide a buzz-free living in your yard, patio, and any outdoor gathering spaces. With their robust growth, quick adaptation to almost all conditions, and gorgeous appearance, lemongrass tops the list of popular gardening plants. Moreover, when cut, bruised, or even rustled by a breeze, lemongrass releases a pleasant lemony, citronella scent that bugs and insects find unpleasant, making it a must-have edible herb for Asian cooking.

This ornamental plant grows in a dense, rounded clump, reaching up to four feet high and three feet wide. Similar to scallions or chives, the grassy stems grow out of a thick bulbous base, which is frequently used in Asian or Thai cooking and can be harvested throughout the entire growing season.

To get the maximum beauty and benefits from your lemongrass plant, plant it near high-use outdoor spaces such as play areas, patio borders, deck containers, or around the foundation. This will create a natural perimeter to enhance the plant's natural protection. Even on slightly breezy days, you'll smell the fresh, lemony scent, and so will those pesky insects. Cutting or bruising the leaves releases a burst of citronella scent, and walking near the plant, rustling or crushing the leaves, will release a lemony scent that bugs and insects avoid.

Combine lemongrass with other protective plants such as Creeping Lemon Thyme, Peppermint, Basil, or Lavender to create a harmonious and effective natural insect deterrent. The two large live plants provided are big, healthy, ready to grow, premium lemongrass plants, 4" to 8" tall, in 4" pots. These plants are non-GMO and do not contain Neonicotinoids, ensuring a safe and natural gardening experience.
