Not the same grass. The grass used in zubrowka is hierochloe odoranta. I believe it is called "sweet grass" on this continent.
I also believe the origin of the vodka is Poland not Russia although no doubt they make it too.

And one of the buffalo grasses has been used for years to flavor vodka in Russia. Win-win!

Buffalo grass (Buchloe dactyloides) and Blue Grama grass (Bouteloua
gracilis) work, at least for some of the species. Establish grass first in
pots then add paintbrush seeds. Various online vendors offer plugs and
seeds.

Indian paintbrushes (Castilleja) are reputed to be partially parasitic on
other plants, particularly grasses. If you're raising them in pots, they
need a host plant. I don't know if they are species-specific when it comes
to hosts.

This plant may be a bit far afield
from a geophyte, but does anyone have information on how to
raise Castilleja sp. from seed. I live in Sunset zone 14 the
seed came from Sunset zone 7 or 9.
