Description:
A perennial grass native to India, Sri Lanka and Thailand, Lemongrass – East Indian (aka Citronella) is cultivated for the intense lemony fragrance of its leaves and stems. Known as Cymbopogon and originally found in Asia, this herbaceous species includes some fifty known varieties which are now native to tropical climes. In addition to being known for its scent, it is also widely used in cooking and for medicinal purposes.
