What Makes Survival Garden Seeds Different - non-GMO heirloom seeds

Grow fresh, aromatic lemongrass at home with Survival Garden Seeds. This citrus-forward herb is essential to Thai and Asian cooking, offering a clean, bright flavor that elevates soups, curries, marinades, and teas. Its long, grassy stalks are valued for both culinary and aromatic uses, making it a versatile addition to herb gardens, kitchen gardens, and container setups.

Once established, lemongrass is a reliable, low-maintenance perennial that thrives in warm, sunny conditions. In cooler regions, it adapts easily to container growing so you can bring it indoors during winter and enjoy year-round harvest potential.

Fragrant, Flavorful, and Naturally Versatile:

  • Distinct citrus aroma adds depth to savory and sweet dishes
  • Ideal for soups, curries, teas, broths, marinades, and infusions
  • Stalks can be used fresh, dried, or preserved
  • Aromatic oils make it useful for teas and home herbal projects
  • Naturally fragrant foliage can help deter certain garden pests

Why Customers Love Lemongrass:

  • Consistent, vibrant citrus flavor for cooking
  • Easy to grow in both garden beds and containers
  • Strong fragrance with culinary and herbal versatility
  • Great option for warm climates or indoor winter growing

How to Grow:

  • Start seeds indoors in warm conditions or sow directly once temperatures remain above 60°F
  • Provide full sun and well-drained soil
  • Keep soil consistently moist during germination
  • Transplant seedlings to garden beds or containers after frost risk has passed
  • Harvest stalks once they reach full size by cutting at the base

Harvest & Use:
Cut mature stalks at ground level, peel away the outer layers, and use the tender inner portion for cooking. Dry or freeze extra stalks for later use, or steep leaves for fragrant herbal teas.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are heirloom seeds?

Heirloom seeds are the types of seeds your grandparents grew. These varieties have been passed down from generation to generation. They’re old reliable open-pollinated varieties that aren’t typically grown commercially. Instead, they have a rich history that predates modern breeding techniques.

You can learn more about open-pollinated, heirloom, and non-GMO seeds in our Survival Garden Training blog.

How do I know my seeds are fresh?

Every seed packet includes a "packed for" date, and we germination test each seed lot before packaging to ensure you receive viable, high-quality seeds that are ready to grow.

Are your seeds treated?

No, we do not pre-treat our farmer seeds. All of our garden seeds for sale are untreated, open-pollinated, non-GMO, and heirloom varieties. They are kept in temperature-controlled cooler storage until they are packed and shipped to keep them pest and disease-free.

In what zones can I grow your seeds?

The seeds in our collections are specifically chosen from varieties that can be successfully grown from Zone 3 to Zone 10 USDA Hardiness Zones. However, individual varieties have specific needs to thrive in different environments. Each seed pack has optimal temperatures for germination and instructions on seed starting. Consult local frost dates to plan your garden and get the most out of your seeds.

What is the shelf life of these gardening seeds?

Most seeds remain viable for 3 to 5 years or longer when stored properly. Check your seed packet for specific varieties. For best results, keep your seeds in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Store them in an airtight container in a consistent temperature environment—a refrigerator or cool basement works well. Proper storage helps maintain germination rates and extends seed life well beyond the packed date.

Where are Survival Garden Seeds sourced?

The majority of our seeds are sourced in the United States, with a few exceptions when the seed is difficult to source domestically. Whenever we do have to source outside of the US, we ensure our seeds are safe to grow, non-GMO varieties that meet our standards for germination and reliability.
