A Fragrant Golden Carpet for Any Setting!
Best in part shade to full sun, it fills in nicely but never takes over!
Among the very smallest of the Dwarf Sweet Flags, Ogon is ideal for containers and other small spaces. Just 3 inches high, it spreads a foot wide with aromatic, chartreuse foliage. You will find it the perfect carpet for all your flowering and foliage plants!

The foliage on this miniature delight may remind you of Sedge, with its spiked architectural appeal. It is joined in spring by small greenish-yellow flower spikes, but they can't hold a candle to its beauty. Perfect beneath anything from Heuchera to Hosta, Sweet Flag thrives in part shade to full sun and tolerates wet, boggy locations.

Space these plants about 9 inches apart for dense coverage in the garden, closer together in containers. They slowly naturalize to provide a full coverage ground cover. Zones 5-8.
