Product Description
Acorus gramineus 'Ogon' - Golden Sweet Flag, Pond Marginal Plant

How to plant and care for it
Plant in spring or summer in wet soil or very shallow water. Tidy old, brown leaves in early spring and divide every few years to stop clumps becoming congested. The RHS notes it can be short-lived in water that stays above 22°C for long periods.
Which size should I buy?
Bare-root plants (7 cm, 9 cm, 1 litre and 3 litre) arrive without a pot or compost and are the most economical way to plant a group. Potted plants (9 cm, 1 litre and 3 litre) arrive growing in our peat-free compost and give a faster display. Packs of 3 come in 7 cm, 9 cm, 1 litre and 3 litre bare-root sizes and cost less per plant. The 2x Pot & Compost option is two plants supplied with pots and compost.
