Lemongrass is an easy to go tall clumping grass that can be used for many things in your garden or homestead. The most common use is as a culinary herb common to Southeast Asian cuisine. It is also a popular ingredient in some teas. 
 
There are some other uses for lemongrass leaves outside of the kitchen. Because leaves contain citronella compounds, they can be used as an insect repellent. Please note: the existence of lemongrass does not repel insects. Leaves must be broken to release the citrusy citronella scent that repels the insects. Leaves can be broken and placed on table center pieces or rubbed on skin to help repel unwanted bugs. 
 
As the plant matures, it can get around 5 feet tall. It can be trimmed to any desired height if needed. Trimmings make a great mulch. Leaves can also be left to dry and woven together for baskets and other creative creations.
