This variegated form of sweet flag is a stunning choice for pond margins or to grow and float anywhere in the unique pond plant floating ring. It is also an excellent pond plant for frog habitat as it is cold hardy and tolerant of regions in Australia that experience harsh winters. In the cooler months, our frog populations need habitat to provide support against frog chytrid fungus, which has higher mortality in winter.

It grows well as a bog plant filtering impurities from pond water.
