Description
Acorus Calamus Sweet Flag
Acorus Calamus Sweet Flag has dark green iris-like foliage with a small green horn-shaped bloom. Acorus Calamus grows from a rhizome which runs across the ground out of which the leaves rise up.
Acorus Calamus "Sweet Flag" has been used in fragrances and medicinal cures since Egyptian times. Little maintenance is required. Trim Acorus calamus plants just above the water surface after foliage has died back in Autumn to tidy leaving a little material to protect new shoots.
Where do you plant marginal pond plants?
Marginal Pond Plants, such as the Acorus Calamus Sweet Flag, can be placed in the shallow areas of a pond. This is usually around the edges, or margin, of the pond. Certain types of marginal pond plants can be planted out of the pond water in damp ground, ideal for a bog garden or water garden display.
