VETIVER GRASS CHARACTERISTICS Grows under extreme and wide range of conditions Long living perennial grass Air temperatures: -14 º C to >55º C (6 º F to >131º F) Soil pH from <3 to >10 Annual Rainfall <300 mm to > 5,000 mm Tolerant to all heavy metals Saline tolerant (salinity threshold ECse = 8 dSm-1) Fire tolerant Tolerant to long and total submergence in water Resistant to most pests and diseases Powerful (75 MPa root strength) and deep root system Non competitive and non invasive. According to the PIER level of invasiveness criteria, non-fertile vetiver cultivars are rated - 8. An acceptable level for plant importation by the strictest countries is +1

THERE ARE DIFFERENT SPECIES OF VETIVER USE THE RIGHT ONE!!
Just to underscore the differences between vetiver grass species, this photo from Vietnam compare Chrysopogon zizanioides (non fertile, south India cultivar) top with Chrysopogon nemoralis - bottom. You can see why we promote the south Indian cultivars!! These are the same that came to the Caribbean more than 100 years ago and are grown on every island and throughout Central America (including Venezuela, Guyana, and the Gulf states of the USA)
