Sowing Instructions

 

Sow seeds indoors from February, placing them on the surface of moist, well-drained compost, and covering lightly with soil. Place in a warm, sunny location or use a propagator for best results.

 

Transplant into larger pots or outdoors in a sunny, sheltered spot after all frost has passed, as lemongrass is sensitive to cold.

 

To promote continuous growth, harvest the outer stalks and allow inner shoots to mature.
