For over three decades, Acorus gramineus 'Ogon' has been a landscape staple in the gardens here at Juniper Level. Acorus gramineus 'Ogon' is a 1975 Barry Yinger introduction from Japan...a glaringly beautiful, evergreen perennial with brilliant yellow, deer-resistant foliage, brightest from fall through spring. While the overall effect is bright yellow, Acorus gramineus 'Ogon' actually has a vertical green stripe down the side of each 1/8" wide plasticized leaf. Acorus gramineus 'Ogon' is very easy to grow, forming a fabulous 1' tall slowly-widening patch...best in moist shade.

What a great plant. Deer don't even bite it, and my local deer will even bite ferns in half. Very vigorous too. I planted it in drifts around my shade pond and it cascaded down into the water and began to totally colonize. It's apparently a literal water plant. The pale spikes look really good in shade too. Very impressed.

Excellent plant , but you can buy this one for less than $3 in any big box store

I have a "drift" of these planted at the edge of a moist shade bed. They get strong light, but no direct sun here in 7b. Plants look perfect 365 days per year. There may be some discoloration on leaves after a rough winter which may be cut away. Don't whack these down or mow them! A no maintenance plant that looks this good is a WINNER! Note that I have planted these in two other areas with a short amount of direct sun....oh, they are not as happy as the shade plants.
