Its grass-like, gently arching foliage is striped lengthways in vivid gold and olive green, creating a low fountain of glowing yellow that lights up darker corners of the garden right through the seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDespite looking like an ornamental grass, Acorus is actually in its own family, the Acoraceae. The leaves are semi-evergreen in mild winters and hold their colour beautifully into the cold months.
