About this Plant
Licorice Acorus (4"), also known as Japanese Sweet Flag, is a fragrant perennial ground cover prized for its grassy green foliage and distinct licorice scent.
This compact plant grows to about 12 inches tall and wide, forming a tidy, spreading habit that works beautifully between stepping stones, along garden edges, poolside plantings, or in containers. The aromatic foliage releases a sweet licorice fragrance when brushed or crushed.
Licorice Acorus thrives in full sun to shade and prefers consistently moist soil, making it an excellent choice for bog gardens, shallow water features, or damp areas of the landscape. Deer resistant and easy to maintain.
Organically grown and shipped with care—ready to add texture, fragrance, and versatility to your garden.
