    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Sweet Flag is not a true grass, but plants have a distinctive, grassy appearance. This selection forms a very low mound of narrow golden sword-shaped leaves, beautiful in a moist rock garden or beside a pool or stream. Flowers are green and insignificant. Spreads very slowly. Foliage remains evergreen in mild regions.
