Thanks so much for the information on vetiver!
Plants go in tomorrow.  
Using the vetiver along the edges of a steep and long driveway to control 
erosion and slow down the water.
I am concerned they might get too high (6 - 8 ft) but as a back up plan it 
would not be difficult to cut them back once a year to keep them shorter.  
I have read that cutting them once a year will keep them in the 4 - 6 ft 
range?
As far as I can tell the plants are also very ornamental which is great for 
landscaping applications.  Beautiful red/bronze color on the edges and curly 
tips.
