Description

Variegated Sweet Flag is a low ornamental grass with pale yellow-green colored blades. It looks and performs best next to a pond, stream or wet areas, as it needs high moisture. It has inconspicuous tiny flowers. It is best to keep Acorus in pots as in can become invasive.

Water Saving Tip:

Check your irrigation controller once a month, and adjust as necessary.

Most plants require only one-third as much water in winter as they do in summer.
