The plant features long, linear-lanceolate leaves, which are either cordate or amplexicaul in shape, ranging from 8 to 50 cm in length and 1 to 3 cm in width. The leaves are slender and aromatic, with a characteristic rose-like fragrance.
Palmarosa produces flowers in the form of spikelets arranged in panicles. These panicles start green and gradually turn a reddish-brown color as they mature. The plant thrives in tropical and subtropical climates, particularly in well-drained soils and full sunlight. Its essential oil, extracted from the leaves through steam distillation, is highly valued for its rich geraniol content, making it useful in the fragrance, skincare, and medicinal industries. Cymbopogon martinii is widely cultivated for its essential oil, which is known for its moisturizing and antimicrobial properties.
