About Citronella

Lemongrass (Cymbopogon nardus) is a large perennial herb belonging to the Poaceae family. It is recognisable by its erect, thick, stiff stems, as well as its long, ribbon-like, intense green leaves. Its bushy habit and height, which can exceed one metre, make it a plant that is as decorative as it is aromatic.

Native to the tropical and subtropical regions of Asia, it is easily cultivated in rich, moist but well-drained soils, with full sun exposure. It thrives in warm and humid climates and can be grown in pots in more temperate zones. Regular pruning encourages its density and the quality of its aromatic parts.

Its leaves and stems release a fresh, intense citrus aroma when rubbed, due to their richness in citral and geraniol. Long used in cooking, in infusions or as a natural insect repellent, it is also valued in aromatherapy for its purifying and calming properties.
