“Cymbopogon is a genus of grasses. It includes aromatic species such as lemongrass and citronella grass, valued for their fragrant oils—though not every species is grown for cooking or for repellent uses.”
Why shoppers love Cymbopogon
Fresh fragrance, fast growth, and an instantly “garden” look—great for pots and borders.
Cymbopogon forms tidy clumps with long, ribbon-like leaves that move beautifully in the breeze. Many varieties are grown for aroma, while others are appreciated simply as ornamental, textural grasses.

Selection & care advice
Simple guidance for healthy clumps and better aroma—then adjust to your exact variety.
Light
Most Cymbopogon do best in full sun to bright light. More light usually means sturdier growth and stronger fragrance.
Water
Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy, especially in heat. In pots, water deeply when the top layer starts to dry—don’t let it stay waterlogged.
Harvest & upkeep
Trim brown tips, remove old outer leaves, and divide clumps when crowded. If harvesting for aroma, pick healthy outer leaves and avoid cutting the growing center.
