Acorus calamus 'Variegata' - Variegated Sweet Flag

Acorus calamus 'Variegata' (commonly called Variegated Sweet Flag or Acorus calamus 'Variegatus') is a hardy, clump-forming marginal aquatic perennial. Known for its striking iris-like, sword-shaped blades with cream and bright green vertical stripes, it serves as an excellent texture plant for water features. Unlike true grasses, when its foliage is bruised or crushed, it emits a distinct, pleasant spicy-sweet fragrance.
