Family Acoraceae

Acorus 'Variegatus' is a low-growing, herbaceous perennial prized for its variegated green and creamy-white linear foliage, which brings light and refinement to shady and damp areas of the garden. This Acorus cultivar forms an elegant and structural ground cover, ideal for planting near ponds, streams, or in woodland settings, where it contrasts beautifully with darker foliage or coarser textures. Its graceful form and light color persist throughout the season, making it a top choice for natural borders, shade beds, or water gardens. Very easy to grow, it thrives in moist to wet, well-drained soils and tolerates partial shade. Undemanding and non-invasive, Acorus 'Variegatus' adds a touch of lightness and brightness to less sunny areas of the garden.
