Variegated sweet flag grass

Acorus gramineus 'Variegatus' is a low-growing, herbaceous perennial with finely striped, creamy-white foliage on a deep green background. It subtly brightens shady or damp areas of the garden while adding a delicate yet structured texture. This cultivar of Acorus gramineus quickly forms a dense, decorative clump, ideal for edging borders, along ponds, streams, or in woodland settings, where its variegation catches the light and enhances neighboring plants. Preferring consistently moist to wet soils, Acorus gramineus 'Variegatus' tolerates partial to deep shade and is easy to grow without complex maintenance. Its low, graphic silhouette elegantly complements water features and natural garden designs, while providing a soothing contrast to the dark or broad foliage of neighboring plants, making it a versatile ornamental option for enhancing green spaces.
