The Acorus gramineus 'Ogon' (Golden Flag) is an evergreen herbaceous perennial plant ideal for wet areas. It forms an attractive tuft of beautiful arching, narrow, sword-shaped, golden-yellow leaves that are sweetly aromatic.

• Grows well in marshy soils.
• Low maintenance and suitable for most soil types.
• Maximum height: 0.4 m.
• Suitable for sunny or semi-shaded plantings.
• Can be used for creating green walls and ground cover.
• Planted near rivers and lakes.

The plant should be attached to objects such as stone or wood to anchor itself by its roots or be fixed in the soil, similar to Anubias or Java fern. Its growth is very slow and over time side branches may appear on the rhizome that can be cut for propagation. As a terrestrial plant, it is easy to grow and can overwinter.

This decorative grass-like plant fits especially well in arrangements inspired by rocky stream habitats. It is also suitable for cold water aquariums, provided its rhizome is not buried in the substrate. Its use as an "epiphyte" for hardscape is worth trying, as it can also be used as a robust terrestrial plant in paludariums, ripariums, terrariums, and Wabi-Kusa.
