Why Choose Vetiver Grass (Chrysopogon zizanioides)?

Vetiver grass stands out among other landscaping grasses due to its extraordinary tolerance for poor soils, waterlogged sites, and heavy rainfall. Its roots can reach over 3 metres deep, making it one of the best natural solutions for erosion-prone slopes, stream banks, and bunds. Unlike other species, vetiver forms dense, non-invasive clumps that won't become a problem for neighbouring areas.

Whether you are revegetating a rural gully, stabilising a roadside batter, or filtering runoff around dams and ponds, vetiver’s performance and low-maintenance nature make it exceptionally cost-effective. As vetted vetiver grass suppliers, we ensure every plant is healthy, vigorous, and ready to establish quickly in your chosen location.

Applications for Vetiver Grass

Land managers and gardeners choose vetiver for a wide range of applications:

If you’re interested in pairing vetiver with other reliable, eco-friendly grasses, consider our extensive range of natives, such as Festuca novae-zelandiae (Native Fescue). Vetiver can also thrive alongside wet-site species like Juncus caespiticius (Grass Leaved Rush), and the tough, attractive Carex flagellifera Green.
