Lemongrass typically grows to 70 cm tall and 60 cm wide, performing best when planted in full sun on a well-drained site. It is tolerant of short periods of dry and light frost only. Cymbopogon citratus is commonly included in herb and cottage gardens, maintained in a container, planted as a border, or included in a mixed planting. The shoots have insect repellent properties and health benefits.
