How is Vetiver installed?
Although the specific application will dictate the way Vetiver is planted, to stabilize slopes, Vetiver is most commonly installed in multiple horizontal rows on the contour (width) of the slope.
Properly installed, Vetiver flourishes and requires minimal maintenance. Within weeks, it forms dense barriers that filter and slow the velocity of rushing water and trap topsoil and silt that otherwise would slide or be swept away as runoff. Sediment captured at the face of the hedge ultimately levels and forms natural terraces, transforming otherwise unproductive land into a rich, fertile resource.
What does Vetiver need to become established?
For the first three months following planting, Vetiver requires daily water and periodic weeding. Once established, Vetiver resists drought up to six months.
Do you install Vetiver?

Can I plant Vetiver myself?
Absolutely. Vetiver Systems Hawaii is committed to Vetiver and its success in Hawaii. We provide detailed instructions and occasionally supervise buyers who wish to plant Vetiver themselves.
Where do you ship Vetiver?
You want plants? We've got 'em!
Following Hawaii State Department of Agriculture regulations, we'll ship Vetiver to you, wherever you are, on your schedule! Few of us can install a single shipment of 10,000 plants at one time, so we'll make sure that you get healthy, rooted slips when you need them. We recommend that out-of-state or international buyers confirm import requirements with their agriculture departments.
