Sweet Flag

About this plant

Brighten your garden with the eye-catching Acorus gramineus 'Ogon', also known as Ogon Golden Variegated Sweet Flag. This semi-evergreen, ornamental grass forms a charming clump of narrow, arching leaves, each adorned with brilliant gold and green stripes. Its compact size and luminous color make it a superb choice for adding year-round interest and texture to borders, rock gardens, or wetland environments. Preferring consistently moist conditions, Sweet Flag 'Ogon' thrives in boggy areas, at the edge of ponds, or in containers where soil moisture can be maintained. While it appreciates full sun for the best coloration, it also performs well in partial shade, where its bright foliage can illuminate darker corners. Its upright yet graceful habit creates a beautiful contrast with broad-leaved plants or dark-hued flowers. Beyond its stunning good looks, 'Ogon' Sweet Flag is remarkably low-maintenance once established, resisting deer and requiring minimal pruning. It's an excellent choice for adding a refined, cheerful accent to water features, creating luminous groundcover, or lining pathways with elegant, golden foliage.

Care & maintenance

Maintain consistently moist soil, especially during dry periods. Can tolerate shallow standing water. No significant pruning is required; remove any browning foliage as needed to maintain appearance.
