Back in the day we would soak it in wine then hang it in the closet.

Don't worry the grass still burns when you light it.

If you want to use anything thats growing in the yard and looks to scale......and keep it color and texture try Glycerin. It can be found at most craft shops. It will help keep the "grass" green and looking alive for quite a long time.
Oh and if you use Glycerin, grasses and plants will not wilt.
