Plant: Sweetflag Grass / Acorus - Variegated

Variegated Japanese sweetflag forms grass-like clumps of narrow leaves striped white and green, up to 1 foot tall, spreading slowly by rhizomes. It grows in very wet or even partly submerged soil in full sun to part shade, with some afternoon shade best in hot summers. Use it along streams and ponds, in wet spots, as edging, or in containers kept moist; dry soil can scorch the leaves.
