Sweet grass came to be regarded as more than just a grass though. Sweet grass has literally been woven into the history and heart of america, and we see that from the long list of notorious tribes including the lakotoa to the cheyenne to the blackfoot to the omaha to the sioux, all of which so deeply held this grass sacred as a testament of the power and energy of this single plant.
Today it is still grown for the same uses it has been grown for throughout history and as a landscaping plant. It links together generations who have all found something special in the single plant. This single fiber of human being is becoming rare in the wild and should be preserved. Sweet grass is a frost-hardy perennial grass that spread by rhizomes. It usually prefers cool moist locations such as at the edge of a meadow.
Despite the challenge from seed, once established, plants quickly spread by rhizomes which can be divided to form new plants. Plants prefer full sun to partial shade. Sweet grass does well in containers or in the ground, but should be kept from any type of drought and should not be exposed to extremely low temperatures.
In most areas, this presents no issue as these limits are well below freezing. Plants will typically top out at about 2 feet in height. None of these items are for human consumption!
