I've got one lemongrass growing strong in a pot on the kitchen window seal & was wondering how & if it is going to spread?

My lemon grass has just grown new shoots from the roots and has needed transplanting to a bigger pot a couple times.  I've got it outdoors now.  It has also produced seeds at one stage as well, but I've clipped them before they've matured to prevent it becoming an evnironmental weed.    You should be able to propagate it using division if you were looking to increase your plant.

Best outside for Lemongrass I think...

[Sadgit]

can you really grow lemon grass in the UK? Do you buy it from seed or as a small plant?

[savbo]

I've grown it from seed and it germinated well but took ages - never thick enough to cook with after a year. Now I just get a bunch from chinese supermarket (usually have more root plate left than at T***o) and plant em, sometimes after standing in a little water to get roots going. I have 1 outside and one in ghouse and ghouse one is doing better...

I've grown lemongrass successfully for a couple of years now. 2 years running I was stupid and left them outside over winter and lost them both before I had chance to harvest any! This year I am hedging my bets... I've got two in the greenhouse at different stages of growth, and 1 that I've sown on the allotment. Either way I will make sure to harvest and freeze them before its too late. Although I must say the earlier sown greenhouse specimen is much better than the other 2, so I think they need a long growing season. I am fully prepared to bring the pot grown specimens in doors to overwinter.
