Lemongrass East Indian

The most exotic herb you can grow in a British summer. Lemongrass East Indian produces tall, elegant clumps of strap-like leaves with an intense lemon-sherbet aroma that is essential for Thai curries, Vietnamese soups, and lemongrass tea — and doubles as an outstanding natural mosquito deterrent on a warm summer evening. Approximately 200 seeds per packet. Note: leaf edges are sharp — handle with care.
