Sweetflag

Ornamental aquatic perennial known for its grass-like, upright foliage and clean, structured appearance. Sweetflag forms dense clumps of bright green, sword-shaped leaves that add texture and movement along pond edges, bog gardens, and moist landscape areas. Some varieties also release a light, pleasant fragrance when the foliage is brushed or crushed.

A reliable moisture-loving plant, Sweetflag is valued for its low-maintenance nature and ability to thrive in consistently wet soils or shallow water. It works well as a filler plant in water gardens or as a soft vertical accent in naturalized wet areas.

Maintenance: Plant in full sun to partial shade in consistently moist or shallow water conditions. Water regularly during establishment, then maintain consistently wet soil for best performance. Divide clumps every few years if needed to control spread and rejuvenate growth. Remove any damaged or aging foliage to keep plants looking tidy and vigorous.
