Question
Stephanie Naftal –
Curious if you think it’s worth buying just one. I’m worried it won’t get here in Montana until after the snow falls and ground freezes.

Hi Stephanie, In answer to your question, I always recommend buying in 3’s. Not only are the plants happier to have companions, but this provides a bit of insurance and also stretches the shipping dollar. I think you should get the sweetgrass in the spring. Richo

Admin Richo Cech –
Logan, This is listed from 3 to 7 and enjoys cool weather (the main harvest is from Canada). I personally always push the zone limits and am often pleasantly surprised. You could try a cool, shady spot. One of the main producers of sweetgrass for years worked out of California, so that may indicate heat tolerance. r

I want to grow sweet grass in Florida in shady damp earth. What zone is Tampa?

Richo Cech –
Tampa is a 9b, a little hot for a zone 7 sweetgrass. However we’re a zone 8 here and we grow it. r
