Acorus gramineus 'Par Green'



A medium sized green plant that was sold for tropical aquaria (I bought it in Par in 2005). It has been slow growing but has had one or two setbacks, so I am not sure if it is significantly distinct from the usual A.gramineus.

Aqua-Fish say:

"Despite being used in aquascaping, Acorus gramineus is not a true aquatic plant and does not thrive when fully submerged for long periods. It is best suited for paludariums, terrariums, and as a marginal plant in ponds, where its roots can remain moist while its foliage is exposed to the air. Its slim, grass-like leaves can add a delicate texture to your aquascape, enhancing its natural look."
