Acorus gramineus 'Ogon'

Golden Sweet Flag

Acorus Ogon, also known as Golden Sweet Flag, is a striking ornamental perennial that brings vibrant, golden-yellow foliage to gardens and landscapes. Its grass-like appearance makes it perfect for pond edges, water gardens, and shaded areas. The narrow, arching leaves create an elegant cascading effect that adds texture and contrast to various garden settings. This plant’s unique golden color brightens up any space, especially in areas where other plants might struggle to grow.

Year-Round Interest and Seasonal Beauty

Acorus Ogon is a semi-evergreen perennial that thrives in milder climates, offering year-round interest. Its golden foliage remains bright and vivid, even during the cooler months. This seasonal persistence makes it a reliable addition to gardens, maintaining a cheerful and bright presence in fall and winter. The plant’s striking foliage provides visual interest when many other plants begin to fade. Its ability to retain its color throughout the year adds to its versatility in garden design.

Easy to Grow and Low Maintenance

This perennial features a slow-spreading root system, allowing it to naturalize gradually without becoming invasive. Acorus Ogon is perfect for gardeners who want a low-maintenance, beautiful plant that won’t quickly overrun their garden space. It thrives in moist, well-drained soil but can adapt to slightly acidic conditions, making it versatile for various soil types. Whether planted in full sun or partial shade, it maintains its golden hue as long as it receives consistent moisture. Once established, it requires minimal care, making it suitable for both novice and experienced gardeners. The plant’s drought tolerance once fully rooted adds to its low-maintenance appeal.

Fragrance and Sensory Appeal

In addition to its visual beauty, Acorus Ogon provides a delightful sensory experience. Crushing the leaves releases a sweet fragrance, which adds another layer of charm to your garden. This pleasant scent makes it an ideal choice for gardeners looking to enhance their outdoor spaces with both visual and sensory elements. The fragrance also attracts pollinators, further benefiting your garden ecosystem.

Perfect for Any Garden

Acorus Ogon is ideal for creating a peaceful, sensory-rich environment in any garden. Whether planted in groups, as a border plant, or used as a focal point, it adds year-round beauty and texture. This plant is perfect for gardeners looking for a stunning, low-maintenance perennial that provides fragrance, color, and visual appeal.
