About this Plant
Acorus Pusillus (4"), also known as Dwarf Japanese Sweet Flag, is a low-growing perennial grass valued for its tidy habit and versatility.
This compact variety forms a dense mat of grassy green foliage reaching just 3–5 inches tall, making it ideal for use between stepping stones, along garden edges, poolside plantings, or in containers. It tolerates light foot traffic and works beautifully as a living ground cover.
Acorus Pusillus thrives in full sun to shade and prefers consistently moist soil, including boggy or shallow water conditions. Deer resistant and easy to maintain, it also supports garden biodiversity by attracting butterflies.
