5.0 out of 5 stars They grew!, August 4, 2009

This review is from: Lemon Grass 60 Seeds - Cymbopogon - Herb
These are lemon grass seeds for the grass that is commonly used as a seasoning in South Asian cooking. (The Fire Bowl chain of restaurants has a coconut milk soup called Yom Ka which uses lemon grass.)

These seeds came up fine, even in 108 degree Austin heat. Start them in a pot of well-mulched, loose dirt that has a clear plastic bag over the top to create a minature greenhouse. (Translucent grocery produce bags will do.) They won't sprout unless they are humid, not wet.

I have little green shoots of lemon grass from these. So far, so good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pleasantly surprised, May 7, 2010

This review is from: Lemon Grass 60 Seeds - Cymbopogon - Herb
Most of the web sources on sprouting and growing lemongrass seeds claim that the seeds are hard to germinate, take over a month to sprout and have a poor germination rate.

I was pleasantly surprised when the majority of my seeds germinated within a week of planting. I planted them in a standard seed tray with a moisture dome and placed them in a southern window. They sprouted within a week. The temperatures have been in the high 70, low 80.

I am very pleased with this product.

This review is from: Lemon Grass 60 Seeds - Cymbopogon - Herb
I planted 3 of these seeds after receiving them in the mail and all 3 have sprouted, and quickly too. I ordered other seeds from Hirt's and these were the first to pop up. So far so good.
