Acorus calamus Variegatus (Variegated sweet flag)

Acorus calamus Variegatus (Variegated sweet flag) is a clump forming rush with sweetly scented green and white variegated leaves, steadily spreading in shallow water or wet ground. Non-invasive and useful for natural swimming ponds as it produces little debris. This is a very under-used plant to my mind, which is a pity, probably because it doesn’t have big showy coloured flowers. However it produces lovely fans of cleanly variegated and sweet smelling foliage over a long period and is especially valuable in an architectural planting scheme. It’s easy and problem free too.

AVAILABILITY:

From April to August, single bare root plants or single P9 pots will only be available as part of a Pick and Mix pack or as a component of various other pond packs. Multiples of x 10 bare root plants, packs of three P9 pots and various larger potted options will be available all year subject to seasonality.
