Grow Your Own Lemongrass with Rooted Stalks

Enjoy the fresh, citrusy flavor and aroma of homegrown lemongrass plants with our set of 5 organic, matured stalks. These Cymbopogon citratus stalks are fully rooted and ready to be planted directly in your garden or in containers. Each stalk measures between 6 and 8 inches tall, providing a healthy start for your new lemongrass patch.

These lemon grass stalks are carefully packaged with moist peat moss and newspaper to ensure they arrive in good condition. While some browning of the leaves and stems may occur during transit, this does not indicate damage to the roots. We ship orders on Mondays and Tuesdays to minimize transit time and prevent excessive dehydration of the stalks.
