Acorus gramineus 'Minimus Aureus' Common Names: Dwarf Golden Sweet Flag

Description:

Only 2-3" in height but brilliant gold in color, this little gut makes a stunning groundcover in moist, partly shaded locations, handling full sun just fine with enough moisture. With foliage resembling tiny golden iris, Golden Dwarf Sweet Flag is especially striking carpeting the ground beneath dark foliaged plants, such as purple Heucheras or Black Mondo Grass. Evergold foliage, not the springtime sedge-like bloom, is the strength of this plant and keeps it glowing all year long.
