About Vetiver:
Vetiver is said to be one of the oldest plants on earth. It is a dense clumping easy-to-grow perennial grass often used to prevent soil erosion with thick aromatic roots up to 9’ long. Chopped vetiver leaves make a good mulch and essential oils extracted from the roots are used in aroma therapies and the perfume industry including brands like Opium and Miss Dior. 

The outside dimension is approx 4" high x approx 10" across. Sizes vary slightly, please allow for natural variances.
