The Full Picture

Lemon Grass is the 'utility player' of the Lucknow terrace. Not only does its citrus scent deter mosquitoes, but it is also one of the toughest herbs you can grow. It thrives in our late August humidity. The secret to a thick, flavorful stalk for your tea is to harvest from the outside of the clump, always leaving the central 'mother' stalks to continue growing.
