Acorus calamus Variegated, commonly known as Variegated Sweet Flag, is a striking marginal plant that brings colour, texture, and movement to ponds, streams, and water gardens. Its sword-like leaves are boldly striped in green and creamy yellow, creating a vibrant, architectural feature that brightens pond edges and shallow water areas. This hardy perennial thrives in moist soil or shallow water, releasing a subtle, sweet fragrance when the foliage is brushed. Low-maintenance and versatile, Variegated Sweet Flag is ideal for adding long-lasting interest, contrast, and wildlife value to both formal and naturalistic aquatic planting schemes.
