Growing & Maintenance Tips
Foliage is evergreen in mild winters, but should be cut back in early spring to allow the new fresh growth to appear. Suitable for bog gardens, however, it will not tolerate deep standing water. This is a slow-growing cultivar.
Notes
Acorus is not a true grass, and will produce tiny red berries.
