Acorus calamus 'Variegated', commonly known as Variegated sweet flag, is a clump-forming marginal aquatic perennial with long, sword-shaped green leaves streaked with creamy white, providing year-round ornamental interest. In summer it produces inconspicuous, spiky flowers above the foliage, while the striking variegated leaves create architectural appeal along pond edges and in wet garden areas.
This cultivar thrives in shallow water or consistently moist soil and provides ecological value by offering shelter for wetland insects. Its upright, spreading habit and tolerance of waterlogged conditions make it ideal for pond margins, bog gardens, and naturalistic water features.
