Lemongrass, also known as Cymbopogon, is a tropical grass with a light, refreshing flavor and a hint of ginger. It's a member of the grass family and is native to Asia, Africa, Australia, and tropical islands. Lemongrass has over 100 species, but only two are used as lemongrass, including Cymbopogon citratus, which is used in foods and medicine. Lemongrass is used in tropical countries, especially in Southeast Asia, for culinary purposes. It's also used in India as a medical herb and for perfumes. Lemongrass has antibacterial and antifungal properties, and has traditionally been used as a pain reliever and fever reducer. It's also widely used as a natural remedy for digestive issues, neurological problems, and high blood pressure. Lemongrass can be used to make marinades and soups, or added to stir-fries. It can also be used as a flavoring for crème brulee, or steeped in a bottle of vodka for cocktails. Lemongrass essential oil has antimicrobial effects and is active against: Dermatophytes, Keratinophilic fungi, Ringworm fungi, Food storage fungi, Bacteria, Flu, and Colds. Lemongrass leaf and essential oil contain chemicals that might help prevent some bacteria and yeast from growing. Lemongrass essential oil and dried leaves are possibly safe when used as medicine, short-term. However, lemongrass is likely unsafe when taken by mouth during pregnancy. Lemongrass grows best in full sun with good drainage. It won't grow well in clay and needs rich, fertile, loose soil. You can add sand or consider planting in pots or raised beds if garden soil is unsuitable. To maintain the shape and size of your lemongrass, you can prune it. Harris recommends trimming off about 4 to 6 inches anytime the grass grows surpasses 1 foot. Happy Gardening.
