Although often mistaken for a true grass, it is actually a member of the sweet flag family and is closely related to \u003cspan class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"whitespace-normal\"\u003eAcorus gramineus\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e. This compact plant is particularly useful for adding colour and texture to damp garden areas, pond margins, or containers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp data-start=\"467\" data-end=\"981\"\u003e‘Hakuro Nishiki’ forms a small, clump-forming mound of slender, arching leaves that typically grows to around 20–30 cm in height, with a similar spread. The foliage is narrow and strap-like, creating a soft, fountain-shaped habit. What makes this variety especially appealing is its delicate cream, pale yellow, and green variegation, which gives the plant a light and fresh appearance. The variegated leaves can help brighten shaded corners of the garden and contrast beautifully with darker green plants.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp data-start=\"983\" data-end=\"1477\"\u003eThis cultivar thrives in moist or damp soil and performs particularly well near water features, along pond edges, or in bog gardens. It can also be grown successfully in containers, provided the compost is kept consistently moist. While it prefers partial shade, it can tolerate full sun in cooler UK climates as long as the soil does not dry out. The plant is generally hardy across most parts of the UK, though some protection from harsh winter winds may help maintain its appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp data-start=\"1479\" data-end=\"1668\"\u003eUnlike many flowering garden plants, Acorus gramineus ‘Hakuro Nishiki’ is grown primarily for its foliage rather than its flowers. Any blooms that appear are small and rather inconspicuous.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp data-start=\"1670\" data-end=\"1989\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eMaintenance is minimal. Removing old or damaged leaves in spring helps keep the clump tidy and encourages fresh growth. Over time, the plant may also be divided to create new clumps. With its neat habit, elegant foliage, and tolerance of damp conditions, it is a versatile and attractive addition to many gardens.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arundel Arboretum","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56704753369466,"sku":"ACOR-GOLD-GRAS-3","price":18.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9130\/4688\/files\/38f06c6f-21ff-4d58-b48d-454c17ea17f1.jpg?v=1773830825","url":"https:\/\/www.arundelarboretum.co.uk\/products\/acorus-gramineus-golden-delight-grass-perennial-2lt","provider":"Arundel Arboretum","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
