Lemongrass Live Plant – Jamaican Fever Grass, Tropical Culinary Herb

Tropical Citrus Flavor — A Staple Herb Across Caribbean & Asian Kitchens

Lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) — known in Jamaica as Fever Grass — is a powerhouse tropical herb prized across Caribbean, Asian, and Latin American cuisines for its bold, bright citrus flavor and captivating lemony fragrance. Whether you're making coconut curry, lemongrass tea, soups, marinades, or Jamaican bush tea, this is the plant that delivers the authentic taste and aroma nothing else can replicate.

Why Lemongrass Belongs in Every Herb Garden

• Bold Citrus Flavor: Intense lemon aroma and flavor without acidity — essential in Thai curries, Vietnamese pho, Caribbean teas, stir-fries, and marinades.
• Medicinal Tradition: Known as Fever Grass in Jamaica, lemongrass tea has been used for generations to reduce fever, aid digestion, and promote relaxation.
• Stunning Landscape Plant: Forms dramatic clumps 3–5 feet tall that rival ornamental grasses — a beautiful structural addition to tropical and subtropical gardens.
• Fast Growing & Generous Harvests: Stalks can be harvested once plants reach 12 inches tall, delivering fresh lemongrass all season long.
• Container Friendly: Grows beautifully in large pots — perfect for patios, and can be brought indoors in cooler climates.

Growing Tips

Plant in full sun after the last frost in fertile, well-drained soil at pH 6.5–7.0, spacing plants 24 inches apart. Lemongrass loves heat and consistent moisture — water when the top inch of soil is dry. Feed regularly with a balanced water-soluble fertilizer for maximum growth. Harvest outer stalks at the base once they're at least ½ inch wide. In Zones below 9, grow in containers and overwinter indoors.
