Acorus gramineus 'Minimus Aureus' (Dwarf Golden Sweet Flag)

Part Sun to Light ShadeZone: 5-9 3" tall Origin: China, Japan

Open House/Web-Only! Despite the long name, the dwarf golden sweet flag is one of the most striking and certainly the cutest of the acorus. The tufts of tiny, golden grasslike foliage makes a slowly spreading patch to 2' wide in 5 years. If you get out the magnifying glass, you'll notice the tiny aroid-like tan spadices (flowers) in early summer. Acorus 'Minimus Aureus' makes a bright little groundcover in moist areas where it makes either a feature specimen or a filler between stepping stones...a real highlight in the woodland garden. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
