Acorus Gramineus Grass

Acorus Gramineus is commonly called grassy-leaved sweet flag. It is native to wetland areas of in most of Asian countries. It is a semi-evergreen, marginal aquatic perennial that features a grass-like tuft of narrow, linear leaf blades (1/4“ wide) that fan outward to 6-12” tall.

Tiny, insignificant, yellow-green flowers bloom from spring to early summer on lateral, sedge-like flower spikes.

Flowers give way to very tiny, reddish, fleshy berries.

Location: Easily grown in average, medium to wet soils in full sun to part shade. Plants perform well in both boggy conditions (including shallow standing water to 3 to 4 cm” deep) and consistently moist garden soils. Never allow soils to dry out.
