Kevalsha's Plant List

A note from Kevalsha
I like to grow a variety of plants from trees to many ground-covers. I also grow annuals and vegetables. I always find places for more plants. Using containers for those that need protection from frost and are used as house plants is a good idea. Many climbing varieties grow on my trees including a vanilla orchid that grows on a camphor tree and is hanging in there for the past two winters. I try to create barriers that make protected areas for plants that would normally would not survive the elements in my area.

Lemon Grass (Cymbopogon citratus)

Have
Shrubs
Tropical plant from South and Southeast Asia. The fragrant leaves are used for roasting pork and chicken. I also make tea from the leaves. You can add it to other teas to give an extra lemony taste. The taste will be sweet without the sourness or tartness of lemons. Lemongrass oil is also effective as a deterrent of stable flies, which bite domestic animals.

This plant is very aggressive and persistent. I have two of these and one is growing right next to a big firebush and it is standing its ground and wants its space. The other one is a cutting I took and was in a container for months on end and finally it is in the ground and doing well.
