Acorus 'Ogon'
Acorus 'Ogon', also known as yellow-leaved calamus, is a semi-evergreen, grass-like perennial celebrated for its striking foliage that offers three seasons of visual interest. This plant forms a dense, upright clump with thin leaves featuring bright golden yellow variegation, releasing a sweet scent when crushed. It performs exceptionally well as a specimen or accent plant in containers, beds, or borders, and serves as excellent edging groundcover when mass planted. Ideal for foundation plantings, naturalized areas, rain gardens, and rock gardens, 'Ogon' thrives in full to part shade with moist, regularly irrigated soil.
