What is sweet grass?
Question:
Answers:
Sweet grass = Hierochloe odorata, I use it as a low maintenance lawn, smells great when you mow. I had to modify the mower to cut at 6" (used larger wheels and extra set of mounting holes) to keep it from winter killing here in North Dakota. I always let enough go to seed to cut for local artisans and religious groups. RScott
