Sweet Flag
Acorus Americanus 'Sweet Flag' is a hardy, grass-like perennial that thrives where other plants struggle — especially in wet soils and along pond edges. Its upright, sword-like green foliage adds clean texture and year-round structure to rain gardens, water features, and low-lying landscape areas. Unlike many ornamental grasses, Sweet Flag tolerates standing water and heavy soils with ease, making it an excellent choice for difficult, moisture-prone sites. Growing 2–3 feet tall with a natural, clumping habit, it spreads slowly to form attractive colonies over time. Hardy in Zones 3–9 and deer resistant, Acorus is a reliable, low-maintenance solution for adding movement and durability to wet landscape settings
