Sweet Flag Variegated
Acorus calamus 'Variegatus'
Variegated Sweet Flag is a wet-soil-loving perennial with sword-shaped green and white leaves. Though it does produce flowers, they are small and inconspicuous. It can be grown in and around ponds or in boggy conditions.
Variegated Sweet Flag spreads slowly over time via rhizomes, making it great for naturalizing. The foliage has a sweet fragrance when crushed.
