Acorus Mini Gold
Acorus gramineus Mini Gold is a compact, semi-evergreen perennial valued for its vivid golden-yellow, grass-like foliage. Its fine, arching leaves form neat clumps, adding vibrant colour and soft texture to the garden year-round. This low-maintenance plant thrives in moist conditions, making it ideal for brightening up damp areas. Though primarily grown for its foliage, it may occasionally produce small, greenish flower spikes in Summer.
Perfect for pond edges, water gardens, or as a ground cover in boggy areas. It also works well in containers, rockeries, or shaded borders. Thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers consistently moist to wet soil, tolerating shallow water planting if needed. Space plants 15–20 cm apart for compact groupings.
Reaches a mature height of 10–15 cm with a spread of 15–20 cm, forming a dense, colourful clump.
- Trimming: Remove dead or damaged foliage in late winter or early spring to keep the plant looking fresh. For variegated varieties, trim back any entirely green shoots to preserve the variegation.
- Fertilising: Acorus thrives in moist, nutrient-rich soil and rarely requires fertilisation. If needed, apply a balanced fertiliser in spring to support growth.
- Watering: Ensure consistent moisture, especially for water garden or bog plantings. Keep the soil wet or waterlogged for best results. Avoid letting the soil dry out.
- Pest Control: Generally pest-free, but occasionally slugs may feed on foliage. Use slug deterrents if necessary.
- Disease Management: Disease issues are rare. Ensure good water quality and avoid stagnant conditions to prevent fungal or bacterial problems.
