Description

Cymbopogon flexuosus, commonly known as East Indian Lemongrass, is a fast-growing perennial grass in the Poaceae family. Native to India, Sri Lanka, and Southeast Asia, it forms dense clumps of tall, slender leaves that can reach 1 to 2 meters in height. The leaves release a strong lemony fragrance when crushed, making it both ornamental and highly valued for its aromatic qualities.

This versatile grass thrives in warm, sunny climates with well-drained soils and is widely cultivated across the tropics and subtropics. It is commonly grown for its essential oils, but it also adds beauty and fragrance to gardens, where it can be used as a striking border or container plant.
