Acorus calamus 'Variegatus' (Striped Sweet Flag)

Part Sun to Light ShadeZone: 4-9 36" tall Origin: USA, Europe

Web-Only! A true plant mimic! This aroid relative (former member of the family before the molecular taxonomy mob ousted it) masquerades perfectly as a dramatic, upright iris. The vivid white-and-green banded stalks make this one of the most strikingly beautiful vertical accent plants in the garden! Sweet flag spreads slowly by means of a very thick above-ground rhizome. Sweet flag loves a moist spot such as a bog but will grow in ordinary garden soils...a real prize! Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
