Saisonübersicht

Beschreibung

This seed-propagated species (Cymbopogon flexuosus) differs from the true lemongrass (Cympopogon citratus), which can only be propagated by division and grows with strong bulbs, by its thinner, grass-like growth. It is used in Southeast Asian cuisine and for making tea. The aroma is strong, acidic, lemony.

Anbautipps

The plants overwinter in a bright, frost-free place. They can be harvested there as required. Replace the soil after the winter if the plants are in a pot.
