Variegated Sweet Flag (Acorus calamus 'Variegatus') Plant

Variegated Sweet Flag (Acorus calamus 'Variegatus') Plant - Aquatic & Wetland Plants. The Sweet Flag in the variegated form is a perennial plant suitable for wetlands or lakes. It grows with rhizomes and presents narrow, sword-shaped leaves, striped, in shades of green and cream. In the warm zones it keeps its leaves all year round while in the colder ones it throws them, however with the lowering of the temperatures they often acquire an attractive pink shade. Late in the spring, its fruits are formed, which are reddish-brown berries - equally decorative. Variegated Sweet Flag is an easy-to-grow aquatic plant as it is generally free of diseases and pests. Apart from its decorative value, it is also used as an herb because of its bitter, fleshy and aromatic rhizome, to which digestive, diuretic and tonic properties are attributed.
