Acorus gramineus 'Minimus Aureus'

Golden Sweet Flag

Description:

♦ Zones: 5-9      Height: 3"     Exposure: Part Sun to Light Shade ♦

Golden sweet flag is one of the most striking of the acorus. The tufts of tiny, golden, grasslike, evergold foliage make 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' is a bright deer-resistant dwarf groundcover in moist areas where it makes either a feature specimen or a filler between stepping stones...a real highlight in the woodland garden.
