When to plant lemongrass in Hobart
Honest answer: lemongrass is a poor fit for Hobart. Hobart's cool temperate climate doesn't give it a reliable sowing or transplanting window in a typical year. Established plants can still crop November – March.
Cool temperate zone tip
Grow lemongrass in a pot in Melbourne so you can shelter it over winter; it dies back and re-shoots in spring.
Frost matters here: the last frost around Hobart typically falls in October, with the first returning around April. Lemongrass is frost-sensitive, so keep it inside that frost-free run.
