Native people have long considered
Sweetgrass to be a sacred plant and it has played
an important role in sacred cermonies. Naturally
growing throughout most of North America, this
plant prefers sunny locations with rich, moist
soil. The scent of this plant is strongest when
planted in full sun. The leaves are at their most
aromatic when dried and made into braids and
burned as incense.
