Frequently Asked Questions
Is vetiver (chrysopogon zizanioides) invasive?
No it is sterile and therefore non-invasive. Propagation is by root division/separation. The vertical roots do not compete with nearby crops. It can be used as a nurse plant for young trees.
Custom and personalized orders
Vetiver is perennial clumping grass and has been known to live 100 years in the tropics. It will form a dense hedge when planted closely together. This is how vetiver protects slopes from runoff and soil loss.
Custom and personalized orders
Vetiver can be used for biomass, fuel briquettes, garden mulch, it can purify water and is hardy as long as it isn't frozen to the ground.
Custom and personalized orders
Once established, vetiver is very drought tolerant. It needs to be in 4 hours of sun each day (no full shade) and will take a lot of water initially.
How deep can vetiver roots grow?
In two years, a well established vetiver plant can send its roots 6 feet down in good soil. This gives it the capability to hold soil on slopes, riverbanks and coastal areas (its salt tolerant).
