Hi, Lemon Grass is easy to grow from seed. Start with a fresh pack of seeds, a pot or tray at least 3 inches deep with drainage holes. Fill pot or tray with dampened soiless potting/seed starting mix. Sow seeds 1/4 in deep . Keep seedlings/soil moist. They should emerge in a week to 28 days at temps kept close to 70-75 degrees. Keep in warm, well lighted area, either in sunny location or with grow lights . Before transplanting outdoors (after all danger of frost), acclimate your plants for a week. You can grow lemongrass in larger pots as they grow and bring the plants indoors in fall when your temps drop. Lemon Grass is ideal for containers. Keep in sunny warm location.

I got my shoots from a grocery store and they were half brown when I just stuck them in my soil and they took off. Now I have more than I will ever use. But I am in zone8.
