Acorus gramineus 'Pusillus' – Dwarf Sweet Flag
Tiny but mighty, Acorus gramineus 'Pusillus' is one of the most delightfully miniature grass-like plants available, forming ultra-compact tufts of fine, bright green foliage just 3–5 inches tall. Despite its diminutive size, it’s remarkably tough — deer resistant, tolerant of wet conditions and shallow water, and capable of handling light foot traffic, making it a perfect choice for planting between stepping stones, lining pond edges, or tucking into containers and small-space gardens. Its tidy, evergreen habit provides year-round appeal with virtually no maintenance required.
