I have a hard time believing they didn't know of and weren't complicit in the attack on Iran. They just diverted an arms shipment from Ukraine to ~~Israel~~ that specifically are claimed to counter Iranian drones
Edit: I saw it was to Israel on the BBC I think, but this article says otherwise
Zone, soil type, and sun would help narrow things down.
Lemongrass did well for me, but that won't survive most winters. Unless you're okay with keeping things in pots and wintering indoors
