    Evergreen "grass" (really an Iris relative) forming 6-12" tufts of yellow and greens striped foliage. Very similar to the cultivar 'Ogon', perhaps a tad bit brighter. Use this "grass" in average to very moist soils as an edging or planted en masse. Also fun in containers for its year round golden foliage.

    An evergreen splotch of gold for that wet patch, bog or pond! Pretty little grassy perennial 6-12” tall & wide that likes water (will even grow submerged to 3”), but will look good in the garden as long as it has regular moisture…excels in clay soil. Sun to part shade; tips will scorch if too dry; also nice in a pot in a saucer of standing water. Rhizome has a sweet aroma.
