FREE: Lemon grass stalks

The listing, Lemon grass stalks has ended.

This auction is for 2 stalks. I will add one more for bids over 10000. Ask for GIN if you are interested.

They are dormant right now. I put few of them in the water 2 days ago and they already started to root. You can see it in the 2nd picture. I will not send you rooted ones, it will be better for the plant if you start it when you are ready. It matures in a full size plant in one season.

Lemon grass (Cymbopogon citratus) is grown as a perennial in USDA horticultural zones 8 to 11 and as an annual or container plant everywhere else. It is a clumping grass that grows to 4 feet tall and wide. The bulbous stems are used in Asian and Caribbean dishes.

You can use them to make a tea, in cooking, for making essential... my cats love chewing the leaves. And there might be a reason...

Not only is the tea very zesty in flavor, it can also help settle upset stomachs and ease a cough. The oils in lemongrass have a number of homeopathic health uses, though most home-growers do not extract the essential oils from their plants. It’s mostly used as a flavoring.

The lemon grass stalks you will receive have a bulbous end where the roots are formed. They can be rooted for planting by setting them in a water. You can also stick them into a moist soil, worked for me... And they were full size plant in one season! And if they are stubborn and don't want to participate, just use them in cooking... We usually use the middle part, about the pencil lead thick portion to flavor meat,etc. and the outside leaves make a good tea.

You can see in the first picture how the mature plant looks like, I will add pictures of the actual stalks later.

Ask me if you have any questions
