    I would like to grow some sweet grass; Hierochloe odorata in my garden.

    Where would I go to purchase some to grow?

    Thanks

    Start with a google search like this:

    "Hierochloe odorata" seeds order

    and you'll find a number of possibilities. Also look for native plant nurseries. I don't know if there's one in the Vancouver area, but there is a likely source on Vancouver Island - I can point you to them if you feel like making a trip over.

    Thanks Gabriolan. I followed your suggestion, and did a search of native plant nurseries, and found this link, which gives me a couple of leads.

    Phoenix Perennials in Richmond had Vanilla Grass recently, you might want to check them out.
