Cultivation:
This plant prefers partial to full sun and will do better in a rich, moist, loamy soil. Lemongrass is easy to germinate, taking 2-7 days (70-90 degrees F); as it is a native to warmer climates, it does require warmer soil, and it is recommended to start indoors for this reason. The seeds should be lightly tamped into the soil and kept moist, transplant after the final frost of the season. The plant starts and they are established to have at least 6 inches in height. Set your seedlings 12-15 inches apart.
