per item
Sweet Flag forms stands of sword-shaped, stemless leaves that fan out directly from the roots. A colony of them may look like cattails or iris leaves from a distance. Green-yellow flowers protrude and arc from stiff spathes in mid-summer, giving way to fleshy berries which turn a rich brown as they dry in the summer heat. The "sweet" in the name comes from the aroma the leaves give off when broken.
