Dwarf Sweet Flag – Acorus gramineus 'Compact Form'

Acorus gramineus Sol. ex Aiton (Acoraceae), the Japanese sweet flag, is a semi-aquatic monocot of stream margins in East Asia. This compact form is a rare miniature selection with dense, grass-like foliage and a neat, low habit.

It requires a consistently moist substrate and high humidity, and suits terrariums, paludariums and the emersed zones of nano aquascapes; it is not recommended for permanent submersion. Photographs compare it with the standard form.
