Plant in pound range with moss for replanting

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lemon grass

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'moss for replanting' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'plant in pound range' is the wordplay.
'plant in pound' becomes 'lemon' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'range' becomes 'grass' (grassing is a kind of ranging).
'lemon'+'grass'='LEMON-GRASS'

'with' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lemon grass that I've seen before include "Oriental aromatic used in cooking" , "Source of oil" , "plant" .)
