Lemongrass

Question

We have a Lemongrass plant in our backyard and it is doing quite well. My question is – it has these stalks shooting up that almost look like “wheat.” Should I leave them or trim them off when they come in?

Thank you,
Maryanne

Answer 1

If the Lemongrass went dormant over winter and has turned brown, you can wait until it is actively growing and then cut out these parts of the plant.
