Description
75-85 days. Cymbopogon flexuosus. Has a wonderful lemon scent and flavor. Not to be confused with the culinary lemon grass (Cymbopogon citratus). It can be used for teas, and in food provided it is well chopped as it is more fibrous than the culinary strain. The scent is great near your outdoor living space where it is also noted to have mosquito repellant properties. This strain is extensively used for essential oil. Beautiful plant grows up to 3 feet and will overwinter in mild winter areas. Bring potted plants indoors for their wonderful scent and to quickly add citrus flavor to foods.
