Common name

Family
Acoraceae

Acorus 'Pusillus Minimus Aureus' is a low-growing, spreading, herbaceous perennial prized for its finely linear, brilliant golden-yellow foliage that brightens borders, flowerbeds, and shallow water gardens. This Acorus cultivar combines a delicate texture with a warm, luminous color, creating a striking contrast with green foliage and water features. Acorus 'Pusillus Minimus Aureus' thrives in shady or partially sunny areas, where its golden hue remains vibrant without being overexposed, and it adds a touch of originality to plantings along waterways, ponds, or in container arrangements. Easy to care for, it tolerates moist to consistently moist soils and helps structure low-lying landscapes without crowding out neighboring species. Its elegant and luminous appearance makes it a particularly popular ornamental choice for enlivening shady areas in both contemporary and natural gardens.
