Lemongrass

$18.75 ($14.90-$18.75 choose a size)

Lemongrass is one of the most versatile of herbs. It makes a delicious herbal tea, is often used in cooking, as an effective pest repellent and an almost impenetrable weed barrier. Tie the outer leaves in a loop and cook with food to impart flavour. Be sure to remove before serving. Incredibly fast to become established and drought tolerant. The fleshy, purple part of the stem is used in curry pastes and can be ground into a paste and added to marinades and sauces to impart a fresh, lemony flavour.

A shade tolerant grass providing thick cover of a soft, textured, broad-leaved lawn. Drought tolerant, resistant to weed invasion and only requires approximately 2 hours of sun per day. Useful in shady orchard inter-rows where a ground cover is desirable to resist erosion. Sub-tropical and perennial where it prefers good drainage. Best not mown too close to the ground. The variety is more suited for domestic lawns, parks and garden areas and should be used with caution near native bushland where it may out-compete delicate, native shade-tolerant herbs and grasses in the understorey.
