Acorus calamus (Sweet Flag)

Acorus calamus, commonly known as Sweet Flag, is an elegant marginal aquatic plant that features sword-like, bright green foliage with a distinct sweet, aromatic scent. The tall, arching leaves bring a striking, grass-like texture to ponds, water gardens, and damp landscapes, creating a lush and naturalistic effect.

Sweet Flag thrives in shallow water or consistently moist soil, making it ideal for pond edges, bog gardens, or rain gardens. In summer, it may produce inconspicuous, greenish-yellow flower spikes, followed by small, berry-like fruits. This hardy perennial is valued not only for its ornamental qualities but also for its historical use in herbal remedies and traditional medicine. Acorus calamus is a vigorous, low-maintenance plant that provides a lovely vertical accent and helps to stabilize wet areas, contributing to a healthy aquatic ecosystem.
