The lemon grass plant is an aromatic grass native to India, Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand and southern Asia.
Known for its light lemony flavor, lemongrass is grown as an ornamental that is also edible. Plants grow in clumps with stiff stalks.
Lemongrass plants are hardy in zones 9-11, but are fast-growing enough to be worth growing as an annual in cooler zones.
