Lemon Grass is drought tolerant but will grow best if watered regularly, as long a soil is not too wet. In cooler zones where the Lemongrass will die back for winter, plant can be cut right back to the ground if you want it to grow back in Spring. Don't pull the plant out of the ground unless you want it gone completely or are relocating.
