Growing & using Sweet Grass

Sweet Grass is often braided and used as an incense. Because Sweet Grass grows underground, it is very invasive. It will not stay where you plant it and it is almost impossible to remove once established. We recommend containers for Sweet Grass. Start with a two gallon container and either divide your plants or move to a five gallon when the smaller container is full of roots.
