Dwarf Sweet Flag
Description
The Grass-leaf sweet flag or Japanese rush, Acorus gramineus, is widespread in East and Southeast Asia. It occurs i. a. at swiftly flowing, rocky forest streams and waterfalls, between pebbles, also clinging on rock by its roots. In these habitats, it is adapted to floods with strong current. Acorus gramineus is an old ornamental plant. There are several cultivars such as the white-striped 'Variegatus'. We offer the dwarf cultivar 'Pusillus' that mostly gets only about 10, at most 15 cm high. It is also named as a variety, Acorus gramineus var. pusillus. Otherwise, wild types of Acorus gramineus may get 30-50 cm tall.
