A large herb that grows in tropical climates, Lemongrass belongs to the Cymbopogon family, like Palmarosa or Java Lemongrass. Its clumps of tall, thin leaves are sharp and it rarely flowers. These different plants are very similar, but their essential oils each have their own particularities: this one is herbaceous, lemony and fruity.
