Acorus gramineus 'Minimus Aureus'

Yes, this plant is excellent for water gardens. It thrives in boggy conditions and can be planted at the water's edge or in shallow water, provided the crown is not completely submerged.

It prefers partial shade, but it can tolerate full sun if you ensure the soil remains consistently moist or wet. Without constant moisture, the golden foliage may scorch in direct sunlight.

It is suitable for moderate foot traffic, making it a good choice for filling in gaps between stepping stones. However, it is not intended for high-traffic areas where it would be walked on daily.

In zones 5 through 9, it generally remains evergreen. In the colder end of its hardiness range, the foliage may die back slightly during harsh winters but typically recovers quickly in the spring.

No, this variety is considered resistant to both deer and rabbits. Its stiff, grassy texture is generally unappealing to local wildlife.

Absolutely. Because of its compact size, it works well in containers, provided you use a moisture-retentive potting mix and keep the soil consistently damp.
