Notes
'Ogon' grassy-leaved sweet flag (Acorus gramineus 'Ogon') is a grass for borders, containers, and rain gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to wet soil of most types. It forms an arching mound that grows 6 to 12 inches tall and wide. Its care is easy, so it suits low maintenance beds.
