Understanding Plant Options

Nature Hills offers plants in two main formats:

Container Plants: Grown in pots with soil, sized by container volume and plant age
Bare Root Plants: Dormant plants without soil, sized by height measurements

Water-Loving Beauty!

Super Easy Care
Likes it Wet
Scented Foliage

It's tough to find a plant that does well in wet conditions like the edges of ponds (or even in ponds!), drainage or runoff areas, low spots in the garden, by the A/C condensation drip or under that leaky outdoor faucet that you keep meaning to get fixed. Add to that even a little bit of shade and you might find yourself looking up "Plastic Plants for sale" on the internet.

Thankfully, Nature Hills has the perfect plant that is not just the solution to your problem areas but is beautiful to boot! Golden Sweet Flag (Acorus gramineus 'Oborozuki') will thrive with wet feet - even completely submerged at the edge of a pond, fountain or pool - as well as tolerating a little light shade.

The wispy foliage emits a sweet fragrance when you crush it. The pale, soft apple-green color really lights up typically bland areas. This perennial grows fast and will quickly give you a lush kinetic garden bed.

Golden Sweet Flag looks great in any garden as a border or bedding plant but looks especially good in a contemporary garden or an Asian/Zen inspired landscape. It grows fast enough that you will want to divide it every two or three years to keep it looking its best.

Grow it for its gorgeous color and texture but love it for its ease and toughness.
