Acorus gramineus 'Ogon'
Golden Variegated Sweet Flag
Features iris-like tufts of narrow, grass-like, variegated leaf blades which are striped with yellow and green but primarily appear as yellow. Tufts slowly spread by creeping roots to form a dense ground cover. Foliage is sweetly fragrant. Inconspicuous, sedge-like flower spikes (with spadixes to 3" long) of tiny, densely-packed, greenish-yellow flowers appear in late spring to early summer.
Height:10-12 Inches |
Spacing:10-12" |
Additional:Grows well in both boggy conditions (including very shallow water) and consistently moist garden soils. Scorched leaf tips will occur if soils are allowed to dry out. Appreciates some relief from hot summer sun, when grown in hot summer climates. Slowly naturalizes by spreading roots, but is not too aggressive. Evergreen in warmer climates.

Hardiness Zone:5-9 |
Bloom Time:Summer |
