Lemongrass Plants For Sale

Lemongrass (Cymbopogon flexuosus) is an aromatic herb well-loved among gardeners and cooks. At The Growers Exchange, we take pride in providing top-quality lemongrass plants for sale. Like all our other herbs, our lemongrass plants are grown carefully and according to environmentally responsible and sustainable practices. 


Our lemongrass plants are the perfect choice for anyone looking to cultivate a culinary herb that adds fragrance to their garden and flavor to their meals. Explore the unique qualities of lemongrass below and discover why it deserves a spot in your garden.


What Is the Lemongrass Plant?

The lemongrass plant is a tropical herb native to Southeast Asia, specifically Sri Lanka, Burma, and Thailand. This perennial grass is prized for its essential oils and is a key ingredient in many Asian dishes, teas, and natural remedies. It is also called East Indian lemongrass, Cochin grass, and Malabar grass.


Lemongrass's clumping growth habit and tall, slender leaves add a touch of elegance to any garden. Its strong lemon scent keeps your outdoor space smelling fresh and inviting. Lemongrass plants are also easy to grow and care for, making them suitable for beginners and experienced gardeners alike. 

Lemongrass Plant Appearance and Characteristics

Lemongrass plants are characterized by their striking appearance. They have tall, arching stalks that can reach up to four feet in height. The plant’s overall growth pattern is dense and upright, making it an attractive border plant or a statement piece in a mixed herb garden. Their leaves are long, narrow, and rough, with a vibrant green color that stands out in any garden setting. 


Lemongrass is named for its lemon-like aroma: when crushed or cut, the leaves release an invigorating citrusy scent. While its fragrance is pleasant to humans, it repels deer, making it ideal for those who want to make their gardens deer-resistant. 


The base of the plant forms a bulbous structure that resembles a scallion, and this part is commonly used in cooking to infuse dishes with its distinctive citrus flavor.


Lemongrass Plant: Origins and History

Lemongrass has a rich history rooted in the tropical regions of Southeast Asia, where it has been cultivated for centuries. It is used to season many Vietnamese, Thai, Malaysian, Indonesian, and Filipino dishes. Traditionally, it was used not only as a culinary herb but also as a medicinal one. It was believed to aid digestion, reduce inflammation, and relieve stress. 


Over time, lemongrass plants spread to other parts of the world, becoming popular in various cuisines and herbal remedies. Today, lemongrass is widely grown in tropical and subtropical climates and has become a staple in gardens and kitchens worldwide. 


How To Grow Lemongrass: Plant Care Basics

Growing lemongrass is relatively simple. It does well planted outside or indoors in a container. With a few basic care tips, your lemongrass plants are sure to flourish:


  • Light: Lemongrass requires full sun to grow well. Ensure it receives at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight each day. If you’re growing it indoors, make sure to place it in a sunny spot.

  • Temperature: Because it is a tropical plant, lemongrass thrives in warm temperatures. It is hardy at USDA zones 9 to 11. It can tolerate occasional dips in temperature but should be protected from frost.

  • Soil: Plant your lemongrass plants in well-drained soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH, ideally between 6.0 and 7.0.

  • Watering: Like most herbs, it doesn't need excessive watering. Water when needed, particularly during dry spells, to keep the plant healthy and vigorous.

  • Fertilizing: Lemongrass is a heavy feeder that benefits from regular fertilization. Use a balanced, all-purpose fertilizer every four to six weeks during the growing season.

  • Pruning: Regularly trim the leaves to encourage new growth and prevent the plant from becoming too leggy. Harvest the stalks and leaves as needed for culinary use.


Uses and Benefits of Lemongrass

Lemongrass is cherished for its wide range of uses in the kitchen and beyond. The stalks and leaves are commonly used in Southeast Asian cuisine, adding a zesty, lemony flavor to soups, curries, roasted chicken, and marinades. 


Lemongrass is also a popular ingredient in teas and herbal infusions, thanks to its refreshing taste and calming properties. In addition to its culinary applications, lemongrass is valued for its medicinal benefits. It has been used traditionally to treat digestive issues, relieve headaches, and reduce stress. The essential oil extracted from lemongrass plants is often used in aromatherapy and natural insect repellents.

No longer as durable
Color: Purple
I have one of these that has made it through 2 dogs but now the bungee is stretched out. It's been such a well loved toy I recently got another one. They've changed the plush fabric. The old one was indestructible. This new one is much thinner and easily torn. I wish they would go back to the old plush fabric.

Great Toy!
Color: Orange
This has been a great toy for our 11 week old German Shepherd. She absolutely loves it. I can get out all of her toys and lay them out with the exception of her "Lizzy" and she will immediately go to her toy bin and get it herself. Needless to say it is her favorite toy. She has had it a week now and she plays with it a lot, chewing and squeaking. It's a pretty amazing toy to have held up this long already and to date shows no sign of wear or damage. Lizzy just keeps going and going.

This item came with plush missingand thread unraveling on one leg
Color: Blue
I bought this toy because my dog spent a week playing with the same toy from Zanies that belonged to a visiting dog. My dog was very gentle with this toy, which he loved, so we decided to find one for him. The toy that arrived had no Zanies label and missing plush on the bottom where the label should have been, plus other bare spots in the area that showed the white mesh beneath. It also had a long thread at the joint of a rear leg so I knotted it at the joint and clipped it to prevent my dog from pulling at it but it's apparent that the sewing is loose and wont last long. The color was also much lighter than the toy he'd been playing with that belonged to the guest dog but I figured it might just be from a different dye lot (it was not bought at Amazon but their local pet store.) I am not convinced this is a real Zanies toy. There were two labels in French and it said it was made in China. I am returning this toy and will get a replacement and see how it looks. If it seems like it will fall apart or is not the real thing I will return it immediately. If it has a label and is in good shape and sewn well at the seams I'll revise this review.

Fantastic Dog Toy!!!
Color: Purple
This is a great toy!!! My dog has lots of toys. But one of the problems is he has trouble getting the squeaker to squeak. He's an 18 lb terrier mix, and those squeakers are just elusive. Breaks my heart. This one, though, the squeakers (there are two) are in small areas (head and tail), that are easy for him to get his whole mouth around and squeak. They also don't move, which also makes them easy to squeak. So he's been squeaking up a storm since he got this! Other plusses: * The material is great (soft, furry material, that seems to be of good quality). * The toy expands and contracts, which is fun. * It's pleasant to look at. All in all, I'd say this is one of the best dog toys I've ever bought for my dog. Highly recommended!

Great Toy in Spite of Everything.
Color: Purple
My dog is a border collie. She loves chewing, fetching, tug of war and catch. The first day we had this toy she chewed off two of the feet. I didn't give it much of a life span. Two weeks later she chewed off a third foot. Miraculously no stuffing was exposed. It has now been a month and the toy is still going strong, albeit with one foot! She loves it. It is now June 1st. It has been almost three months and I am retiring the toy. It no longer has any feet and the tail has been ripped open and stuffing is coming out. All in all I think I got my money's worth from this toy. I ordered another one. She still loves it!
