LEMON GRASS

Can anyone tell me where I can get some lemongrass to grow in pots please? Apparently it is quite easy, grows tall appreciates the high temperatures as is a mosquito repellent.

We grew it successfully in Perth, WA and as its a similar climate here it should be easy.
Never used it as an insecticide but in Asian meals where it's wonderful

Thanks for all replies but more importantly does it keep the mossies away?

Have tried crushing some leaves up and putting in a bowl where we sit but not sure if I used enough. But maybe if you put in a pot near where you sit and keep brush the leaves to release the smell it may work better
