Hierochloe odorata is also known as sweet grass, buffalo grass, bison grass, holy grass (UK), manna grass, Mary’s grass, seneca grass, sweetgrass, or vanilla grass.
Very hardy perennial.
The plant is harvested by cutting grass in early to late summer at the desired length. Sweetgrass harvested after the first frost has little or no scent and is less desirable for basketry. Basketweavers sun-dry cut sweet grass until it is dry and brittle. The brittle form of sweet grass must be soaked in warm water until it becomes pliable. The pliable grass is typically braided into thick threads and then redried for use.
Sweetgrass was, and is, very widely used by North American indigenous peoples. As a sacred plant, it is used in peace and healing rituals. Leaves are dried and made into braids and burned as vanilla-scented incense.
Very hard to grow from seed but will spread quickly through underground rhizomes once established.
Each package of seeds comes with growing instructions.
