Tips from Fran
This Acorus is such a unique plant. It is just sensational in a container and really a neat accent plant in front of boulders. However, I think this gem is best when it is placed in an area where you can brush it with your hand or feet as it gives off a unique citrus scent. It will not take a boatload of traffic, so this is why it made our exception list, but not the full dot category for paths.
