Growing Lemongrass
 

My lemongrass finally sprouted some roots after 5 weeks in water.
I hear it grows pretty fast, wants sandy soil, etc..

But all the pictures in the web I see are just a big bush of long
grass. Where are the actual stalks of lemongrass?

I almost expected it to grow like corn or soemthing, the way the
lemongrass I buy at the store looks like it has a root end that
looks like an ear of corn.
