Cymbopogon ambiguus, or Australian lemon-scented grass, is a plant species in the family Poaceae.[1] It has fragrant, bluish-green grey leaves and fluffy seed heads. It is self-fertile.
Cymbopogon ambiguus needs a sunny position. It can tolerate extreme dryness once established.[citation needed] Propagation is by division of clumps or from seed. Lemongrass can be grown in any soil and needs very little water. It grows to a height of 1.8 m (5 ft 11 in).[citation needed]
