Do you know your exact hardiness zone? Lemon grass may not survive your location.
Should be ok. I am farther north than you are and much hotter here. Have a bunches growing in clumps around the yard and patio at my ex hubby's house and we just trim it back in late fall. He never fertilizes them and they grow like weeds for us. Here is a link for proper care.

Well, good luck and thanks for using Hometalk! :)
If you get any kind of freezing weather there you'd better be sure and cover it. And yes it will grow in the ground and probably get bigger than it would in a pot. I had mine in the ground and it froze last winter and I live in Central Texas and we get few very hard freezes, but it's gone none the less.
i have some lemon grass in the ground and it's trying to take over. i think the roots need to be cut back some.
I'm in zone 7, so I harvest about half of it, and bring the rest inside for the winter. if you have a dry-ish, frost-free spot, you may be able to ground it for the winter, but mine seems to prefer the pot.
