I got a plant many years ago from a German friend that was smaller then the A.g. 'Pusillus Aureus' that I still grow. It never grew any larger than 1 inch in height. It was a typical Acorus g. in all aspects except incredibly tiny. I grew it in the open garden for years -finding it every few months, but it was totally undemanding and prospered. I think I even gave divisions around. I physically lost it in my garden move, but I do not doubt it's existence. I do grow a half dozen or so other various Acorus cvs. variegated golden leaved various sizes etc. I know the difference. Obviously this was a rarer item than I assumed at the time. So it goes. best Jim W. James W. Waddick Voice: 816 746 1949 8871 NW Brostrom Rd E-MAIL: jim-jim@swbell.net Kansas City MO 64152 Fax: 816 746 1939 Zone 5/6 - Winter low -10°F Summer high +100°F
