Description
If you like bold color, Golden Sweet Flag will be one of if not the brightest plants in your woodland, shade, or bog garden! Acorus gramineus 'Ogon', is a neat looking maintenance-free plant with thin bright yellow blades that fan outwards to form grass-like tufts about 10 to 12 inches tall. The plant spreads by underground rhizomes to form a groundcover when spaced close enough (12 to 15 inches apart). The leaves are sweetly fragrant when bruised, hence the name.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 10 to 12 inches tall and spreading slowly by rhizomes to 15 inches or more wide, Golden Sweet Flag is a perfect choice for use as a bright accent, border edger or groundcover in consistently moist to wet sites. It looks great around rocks and boulders around the garden pond and can even be grown in a container situated at the margins of the pond. Also nice as a grassy-textured and colorful accent in combination container gardens with other plants that like a moist soil and part shade to shade. A colorful addition to bog gardens and damp areas in ornamental grass gardens, rock gardens, woodland gardens, and yellow theme gardens.
Suggested Spacing: 12-15 inches for mass plantings; 24 inches or more for space between plants

Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 5a, where this Sweet Flag variety is not reliably winter hardy, you'll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.
Growing Preferences
Golden Sweet Flag is very easy to grow in most any consistently moist to wet soil of average fertility and full sun to part shade. That said, it likes some afternoon shade in warmer climates. Can be grown in pots that are situated at the margins of the garden pond. Acrous is essentially maintenance free. It slowly naturalizes into clumps by spreading roots but is not invasive at all. We rarely fertilize or prune it. In areas that experience colder winters the foliage may need to be groomed or cut back to the ground before new growth emerges in spring.
