WHEN TO GROW. Lemongrass is a perennial in growing zones 10 and warmer but can be grown as an annual in cooler climates, though it may be difficult to grow outside in zones 8 and colder. In general, youâll plant lemongrass after the danger of frost has passed, in late spring for a late summer harvest. Lemongrass takes at least 100 days and sometimes up to 4-8 months to be ready for harvest. WHERE TO GROW. Lemongrass prefers warm, moist and humid conditions. Grow lemongrass outdoors only in hardiness zones 9 and warmer. Grow lemongrass indoors year round in a very sunny window. If growing in containers, youâll likely want at least 5 gallons of space to have a worthwhile lemongrass plant.
how to prep: There are two main ways to cook with lemongrass, and each determines how you handle it. To infuse teas, broths, soups, and braising liquids, trim off the spiky tops and the bases, crush the stalks with the side of a knife to release their aromatic oils, and then cut them into 1- or 2-inch pieces.hough lemongrass stalks measure a foot long or more, almost all of the flavor is contained in the bottom 5 inches or so of the stalk. To get to that flavor, cut away the thinner top portion of the stalk and the very woody base.
