If you have a shaded corner or a spot near a water feature that needs a bit of “glow,” Acorus gramineus ‘Ogon’, or Golden Variegated Sweet Flag, is the plant for you. This semi-evergreen perennial acts like a living spotlight, forming a lush, tufted mound of grass-like foliage that reaches about 12 inches tall and wide. Its stunning chartreuse and gold blades stay vibrant year-round, adding a bright pop of color to partial shade to full sun locations, provided the soil stays consistently moist. It is the perfect solution for heavy clay or boggy areas where drainage is a challenge. As a bonus for those of us living near open spaces, the sweet, citrusy scent of its crushed leaves is a natural turn-off for pests, making it exceptionally #deerresistant and #rabbitresistant. Plant it along a stone path or at the edge of a pond to enjoy its soft texture and reliable, hardy nature.
