Companion Plants Bundle: Lemon Guava & Lemongrass

A Zesty, Supportive Pair

Lemon Guava and Lemongrass are a natural garden duo, blending flavor, fragrance, and function. The sun-loving guava tree produces aromatic, tangy fruit while lemongrass forms a fragrant, low-growing border that protects the soil and keeps weeds at bay. Lemongrass’ natural oils help deter some pests, giving the guava a little extra protection, while its dense growth retains moisture and moderates soil temperature.

Together, they create a low-maintenance, resilient planting that combines edible abundance with a garden full of life and aroma—proof that some companions just belong together.
