Lemon Grass

Scientific Name:

Cymbopogon citratus

Lemongrass thrives in well-drained soil and full sun. Its dense growth attracts pollinators and provides shelter to small insects and birds. Its leaves are long, narrow, and have a sharp, lemony fragrance when bruised, which is why it is widely used in culinary and medicinal applications. Lemongrass is also valued in traditional medicine for its digestive and antimicrobial properties, helping with digestion, reducing inflammation, and even acting as a natural remedy for headaches.
