Recent positive review from our many satisfied customers.
I purchased 24 lemongrass cuttings and was very pleased with the plants I received. All of them were already sprouting roots and all of them began to grow simply by placing them in my gargen. It's been about a week now and I just planted them in potting soil and compost and I'm excited to see their continued growth. I recommend this seller to everyone interested in growing lemongrass.
