What Is Vetiver?

Vetiver grass is a unique tropical plant species whose roots can grow to 10+ feet deep within two (2) years and which can serve as a powerful bio-engineering tool to tackle a wide range of soil and water-related challenges, when implemented correctly according to the Vetiver System (VS). The plant is diverse with various other uses as well, including the production of essential oils and perfumes from its fragrant roots, medicinal, sustainable handicrafts, and as such can now be found on over 100 countries throughout the tropical and sub-tropical world. Vetiver grass is certified non-invasive by the USDA.
