Golden Japanese Flag (Acorus gramineus 'Ogon')

Golden Japanese Flag is an attractive shallow water plant with tufts of light green foliage which is accented with bright yellow, giving it a golden appearance. Beautiful, low growing accent plant for the water garden edge. Golden Sweet Flag is evergreen in Zone 6 and above and adds color to the water garden all winter.

Golden Japanese Flag may also be grown in the regular garden (especially in partial shade), provided the soi is kept moist.
