Acorus gramineus 'variegatus'

Dwarf Variegated Sweetflag

Similar in appearance to Acorus calamus variegatus but smaller in size and spreading less vigorously, Dwarf Variegated Sweetflag is a perfect choice when shorter vertical accents are needed along the pond edge. This clumping ornamental has variegated leaves which is hardy to zone 5 but can hold their color into the winter for warmer zones 6-7 and higher.
