IP238 Sweet Vanilla Grass ( Anthoxanthum odoratum
)
Native Americans used large sweet grass to make baskets. A clumping, evergreen grass with soft green leaves about a ¼" wide by 8" long. Grass emits a delightful fragrance when cut or brushed against.
Fragrance remains in leaves for days after being cut. Flowers are silky green panicles that
grow 15" above foliage and turn a showy yellow. Excellent border plant, it also holds up well to traffic and is often planted along edges of lawns, so that it's sweet fragrance can be released each time the lawn is mowed. Often used in cut arrangements for color and fragrance.
