Vetiver is a fast-growing, clump-forming grass known for its deep and dense root system, making it an excellent choice for erosion control, slope stabilization, and water purification. It thrives in a variety of soil conditions and is drought-tolerant once established. Beyond its practical uses, vetiver is also valued for its aromatic roots, which are traditionally used in essential oil production and natural pest control.
