Seed this season is West Indian Lemongrass- Cymbopogon citratus
This fragrant grass is the one most often used in perfumes but it is also good for flavoring food. We like to plant it in a flower bed and have even placed it in a large container, mixed with flowers and herbs. The plants grow to 3 feet plus in height. Has a natural germination of around 40-50 percent.
