Grassleaf Sweet Flag
Grassleaf sweet flag is a semi-evergreen perennial that originates from Japan. It is grown for its neat clumping habit and attractive grass-like foliage, which is aromatic when crushed. There are many highly desirable cultivars of sweet flag such as the golden variegated 'Golden Edge' and the dwarf 'Ogon'. This perennial is easy to grow if provided with rich evenly moist soil and full to partial sun. Plant in boggy gardens or in fertile beds and borders. These plants will not tolerate deep standing water.
