Flowers in early summer Synonym(s) Acorus calamus var. americanus Common name sweet flag; belle angélique Family acoraceae Life cycle perennial Flowers spike with greenish-yellow blossoms Size 2' Cultural notes marginal aquatic Out of flower, this is similar to blue flag, but has lighter-colored leaves. The flowers are not iris-like. This came with our filtration bog plant package, we've yet to get a good feel for how it will perform.

We left this plant behind in our Pennsylvania garden (and wish it well); we don't grow it in Houston.
