Description

Introduce a unique and charming touch to your garden with Acorus gramineus ‘Pusillus’, also known as the Dwarf Sweet Flag. Despite not being a true grass, this variety closely resembles one with its fine, grass-like foliage. Known for its slow-growing, non-invasive nature, it’s perfect for adding texture to damp areas or water features without overwhelming the space. Its compact size makes it an excellent choice for planting near streams, ponds, or within a damp rock garden.

Key Features:

  • Grass-like appearance with fine, slender foliage
  • Slow-spreading, non-invasive growth habit
  • Ideal for planting beside streams, ponds, or in damp rock gardens
  • Adds subtle texture and elegance to water features and damp landscapes

Perfect for creating peaceful, natural settings, the Dwarf Sweet Flag is a versatile and low-maintenance plant that complements both formal and naturalistic garden designs.

Repotting or planting

9cm marginal plants require potting into a larger mesh basket. Place in a pond no deeper than 1/3 maximum recommended planting depth to allow the plants to establish. 1ltr marginal plants do not require repotting, place in the pond no deeper than 1/2 maximum recommended planting depth to allow the plants to establish, plants over 60cm height growth will benefit from repotting into a larger mesh basket or should be planted in gravel to prevent them from falling over. 3ltr and 5ltr plants do not require repotting, as they are larger more established plants they can be placed up to the maximum recommended depth. There is no need to remove the mesh basket.

Care instructions

Little maintenance is required. Trim just above the water surface after foliage has died back in Autumn to tidy leaving a little material to protect new shoots.
