Best sun/soil combo to transplant my beautiful lemongrass. Zone 8b, Augusta GA. 3 Shade/partial/full Sun options of fixed topsoil to 4-6” but ya know.. then sand straight to clay bc … GA. 🥹 I’m skeert to put her I the ground bc she’s done so well in the pot. Just outgrowing it.

I am in Central Florida zone 10a, and my lemongrass is also outgrowing their pots. I only container garden. I am going to move them to bigger pots. I don’t like Florida soil. Too sandy and too many pests! Perhaps you should just move yours to bigger pots.
