My Lemon Grass DIED :0(

If any one out there has any to share, please let me know. I am sure I can come up with something to trade or I will pay postage.
Thanks

i go to the oriental store, find lemon grass with good base that shows new growth. this is what i plant every year. the are very easy to grow. most of mine from last year was killed by frost. unfortunately i did not plant any this year. sorry.

Thanks MaVie, only problem is the nearest oriental store is about a two hour drive. Ahh the benefits of the country life :0/

i know exactly what u mean. it is the same here. am keeping my fingers cross for u, hope someone will be kind enough to share one or two. doesn't ur local grocery store have any in the produce section?

I've never noticed any but I have to go today, I will look.
Thanks

what do you have to trade i can part with a piece

Thanks Troy, you have mail!

anyone have any tips on overwintering lemon grass? I bought a small piece from someone. I know it isn't hardy to my zone, but was wondering if it will go dormant if put somewhere where it won't freeze. Does it need to stay moist over the winter with sunlight?

I have kept my lemon grass going for at least 5 years now. Just save some of it, cut off the tops (looks like a bunch of green onions, which you can separate and put in individual pots if you want) and keep it indoors -it won't look too nice but it is tough, it will survive. When it is warm outdoors, put it in the ground, each plant will become a veritable green fountain. We had 3 or more clumps, and dug up just one, so we will have quite a bit to share if anyone wants to try growing this plant.
