Most people around here are very surprised to learn ceromonial "Sweet Grass" (anthoxanthum oderatum) grows, and is quite common , in far northern coastal ca. I was surprised when I Id'd it. It's native to North America but not California. We have a close relative called Vanilla Grass, (anthoxanthum occidentale) it likes growing in the woods.
The meadow at my office is mostly Sweet Grass. I give away braids to my old hippie friends.

It is a powerful plant to work with. The aroma is too strong to be indoors
