I have this plant in my front garden next to my fig tree, it is 7 ft, 4in (88 inches) tall and smells like Dill, any ideas?
A "sprig" from the plant.

(Sorry I didn't post them as pictures but I wanted to keep them...
The purple love grass sprouted! :happy_flower Sunday I will post a picture because they are way to tiny now!
when it is 5 inches tall I can transplant it to the front yard.
Actually the heavy rains that we get here would wash the seeds away, so since I already have the small seed starting pots I am going to start plugs and small plant for the flowers and wait to rip out the front until I have something to put in!
I will keep you posted! with pictures!
I looked at some pictures of Smoke bush, it is very similar--and pretty!
How long would it take to grow ornamental grasses from seed? because I have the pots so if I can rather quickly grow my own plugs it would save a lot of money!
Oh here are some pictures of them.

I love the smell of Vetiver!
My front yard is too high maintenance (all annuals!)so I really need to simplify things.
I saw Purple lovegrass growing by the streets here and it is really beautiful, and my mother wants to grow Vetiver, so I was think to grow them together and in the spring I could grow some flowers...
I wish the watermelon would grow!!! it is to hot here and they keep getting burned by the sun and when I tried planting in the shade they still died from the heat!
I am going to try again in the late winter maybe I will get a few melons.
