Acorus gramineus Ogon Golden Variegated Slender Sweet Flag (E) 1L

Acorus gramineus 'Ogon' is a low-growing, evergreen sweet flag with striking golden-variegated, strap-like leaves that brighten shady corners and add architectural interest all year round. Its compact habit makes it ideal where a splash of colour and texture is needed without overwhelming other plants.

Use it to edge borders, soften pond margins, or lift container combinations — it combines beautifully with ferns, hostas and moisture-loving perennials. Tolerant of part shade and damp soils, it’s a versatile choice for cottage, coastal and contemporary planting schemes in Cornwall and beyond.

Supplied in a 1L pot and priced at £8.99, this cultivar is hardy and easy to establish. Plant in moist, fertile, free-draining soil, allow spacing of around 30–40cm, and cut back any untidy growth in spring. Keep well-watered in dry spells for best colour and vigour.
