Acorus gramineus 'Minimus Aureus'

Dwarf Sweet Flag

Plant Type: Ornamental Grass

This dwarf cultivar has sweetly scented striped charteuse green foliage that stays very small and maxes out at 4." It requires very moist soil and thrives in wet soil along ponds and streams. It can tolerate full to partial sun and forms a dense mat over time that makes it ideal as a groundcover and can be used to combat erosion. It also can be used as a cheerful pop of color in small containers in water gardens.
