Lemon grass

[mothhawk]

I forgot to bring in my lemon grass and the leaves have died back and are brown. Is it dead, or is there a chance it may recover if I bring it inside now?
How much cold can they stand?

I've no experience but I'd bring it in & although the rhs website says minimum of 5 degrees,a couple of other web pages say in colder climates the leaves do go brown when dormant & to prune all the brown leaves back in early spring. I put my plants on my windowsill,a few stems have gone brown,I've just trimmed it back a bit,hopefully the roots are all alright.

Mine was outside until about a month ago (I forgot it ) It's in the GH now where's its not much warmer than outside.
I'd bring yours in and give it a chance. I think its tougher than we think.

Thanks for the replies.

In it comes then! I've plenty of windowsill space at the moment.

Don't hold your breath, I've always found them to prettty tender and killed off by any frost

Both of mine died suddenly indoors. Fine one day, keeled over the next. I think I might not bother again with them.

Well, it's got two chances now. It can either grow or die. I'll give it a couple of weeks and if there is no sign of growth I'll bin it. I think I have a few seeds left to grow another, or else I'll get a supermarket stalk to grow.
