i got some seeds any tips on growing it?
Been trying to grow it from the stalks from the store, no luck, never had any roots come of it. Havent found any seeds.
K, thanks 
Ive only grow it from stalks i bought at the market. A few dollars worth gives me enough to fill a gallon freezer bag.
Trim the bottom a very tiny bit 1/8"
Trim off about 90% of the green top. Leave around 4-8" of stalk
Put the stalks in about 1-2" of water near a window.
In less than 2 weeks ive always gotten roots developing and a new green shoot will come out the top.
This started out as 3 stalks from the market.

Frost is going to hit here sometime in the next few weeks, so I figured I would harvest my lemongrass. This cluster grew from a small transplant this Summer, with no manual watering, and only a slight sprinkle of organic fertilizer when planted. I had a feeling it would thrive on the side of my house!

Ive found it to be super simple to grow every time i tried. I did not grow any this year. None of mine i left in ground survived our winter. Most tropical plants and herbs wont survive here. My Vietnamese coriander is almost dead but i started some inside over a month ago and i have more cuttings for another pot. Lemon grass is so easy to grow from market stalks i will just wait until spring.
