ACORUS gramineus 'Golden Edge'
Golden Edge Sweet Flag, Grassleaf Sweet Flag
Golden edge sweet flag is an evergreen to semi-evergreen perennial that originates from Japan. It is admired for its neat clumping habit and attractive grass-like foliage that is aromatic when crushed. Its leaves are bright yellow with a narrow green stripe down the center of each blade.
This perennial is easy to grow if provided with rich, evenly moist soil and full to partial sun and looks great when mixed with other perennials for moist sites. Though well-suited to boggy gardens, plants will not tolerate deep standing water.
