>>Hi James,
Run a search for "Bonsai", A. gramineus pusillus is often listed in
Bonsai catalogs.
BTW; are you familiar with A. gramineus pusillus 'Aureus'? It's about
the same size (slightly larger)

Hi Guys,
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I believe that fairly recent research
has shown that Acorus is NOT an Aroid! Any one else has more info on this??
