Sweet Vernal Grass

We have several areas that are golden with this grass.

The grass is known for its distinctive sweet, vanilla-like smell, especially when dried, due to the presence of coumarin. 

Anthoxanthum odoratum is a short-lived perennial grass, commonly known as sweet vernal grass, that is native to acidic grassland in Eurasia and northern Africa.[1][2] It is grown as a lawn grass and a house plant, due to its sweet scent, and can also be found on unimproved pastures and meadows. The specific epithet odoratum is Latin for 'odorous'.
