Khus Plant, Vetiver, खुस का पौधा

Khus plant (Chrysopogon zizanioides), a truly versatile and traditional Indian botanical. Famous for its distinctively earthy and calming aroma derived from its dense root network, Khus roots have been used for centuries in India to create natural cooling products like mats (khus tattis) and screens, as well as for perfumery and traditional medicine. Beyond its fragrance and cooling properties, Khus grass is an exceptional natural solution for soil conservation, binding soil firmly with its strong roots. Easy to grow and requiring minimal maintenance once established, this plant is a valuable addition to any Indian garden, offering both practical benefits and a pleasant natural scent.
