Acorus gramineus 'Variegatus' Common Name: Variegated Sweet Flag Variegated Sweet Flag has grass-like foliage with a slowly spreading growth habit. Its 8-10" blades form fans like those of Iris and will remain evergreen in warmer climates. The flowers are inconspicuous and the plants are grown mainly for their foliage. Sweet Flag likes boggy conditions and can be grown in shallow water at pond edge, but is also at home in an average garden, though less vigorous. A great choice for a spiky texture in mixed containers! [ More Information ]
