Acorus gramineus Ogon

Acorus gramineus Ogon, commonly known as Golden Variegated Sweet Flag, is an attractive and versatile perennial. This grass-like plant features striking green and yellow striped foliage, adding a splash of colour and texture to the garden. Its narrow, arching leaves form dense clumps, providing year-round interest with their vibrant hues and graceful appearance.

Sweet Flag is perfect for borders, water gardens, and container plantings. It thrives in moist to wet soils, making it an excellent choice for pond edges, bog gardens, and rain gardens. This plant also adapts well to partially shaded areas, although it can tolerate full sun in cooler climates. Acorus gramineus Ogon requires consistently moist soil to maintain its best appearance and should be planted in well-drained yet moisture-retentive areas.

Reaching a height of 20 to 30 centimetres and spreading similarly, Acorus gramineus Ogon is ideal for small spaces and as a ground cover. Its compact size and striking foliage make it a versatile addition to various garden styles, including contemporary, Japanese, and water gardens, enhancing both the visual appeal and ecological value of your outdoor space.
